Pre-race routine:

Arrived nice & early because part of my family did the 5k run/walk, & walked. Had lot's of time to stretch & warm-up. Ate bagels with PB for breakfast about 3 hrs prior, 1 hour prior had a clif gel. Hydrated with only water.

Day before had to wear my legs out following the women around shopping, getting lost in Denver, & only getting about 5 hrs sleep.
Event warmup:

Jogged & stretched about 20 minutes prior

Comments:

Know I didn't run hard enough, cause I didn't feel like puking at the end, & I stuck my tongue out @ my wife when she took my picture.
What would you do differently?:

Start farther up in the pace line. I was one of those running on the shoulders sometimes going around others. Had a lot left the last mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around & ate the bagel, water, & free energy bars they were giving

What limited your ability to perform faster:

amount of people in race because of starting position & 1st time running in Colorado, didn't know how the altitude would affect me so I took it easier than necessary.

Event comments:

Planning on going back for the 25th anniversary next yr.

Performance: Good
Don't understand how my garmin showed 44:30 for time. I do understand the discrep in distance of .23, but I started it when I crossed the starting mats, auto stop wasn't active, & I stopped in when I crossed the finishing mats. ????????? Like the garmin data better - 44:30 for 5.23 miles translates closer to an 8:30 pace.
Course: Cherry Creek Shopping area, mostly flat, even for a flatlander.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
