Pre-race routine:

Played in a soccer game last night so I was a little sore. Had a bagel, gatorade, and Advil for breakfast.
Event warmup:

Picked up my number and chip well in advance and went home. Picked up my parents. Met up with a family friend and chatted with him for a while. Stretched, jogged, fidgeted, ate a Cliff Shot. Talked to Stumfossil for 5 seconds just before the start.

Comments:

I went out too fast and felt like crap for most of the race. A the end I saw the finish and the clock but just didn't have anything left, so no new PB :(
What would you do differently?:

Not play soccer and not eat crap the night before.
Post race
Warm down:

Seriously considered passing out on the concrete. Grabbed a water. Ate Subway for lunch with the family.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Playing most of a 90-minute soccer game the night before.

Event comments:

The Rotary Club puts on a nice race. Very organized, nice tee shirt, plenty of volunteers. I will definitely do this race again next year.

Great race Polly. To only be off by :13 seconds given the circumstances is excellent.
