Pre-race routine:

Woke up about 5am. I usually have a PB&Banana sandwich for breakfast on race day. Today I had a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee. Arrived at race site @ 6:15

Event warmup:

At about 6:35 started doing my pre-run warm-up and stretches, then walked to start line and waited.

Comments:

I ran this using a 6:1 run/walk.

Based on my training runs, my pace should have been about 15-30 seconds faster with those HRs. The start of the race my HR was about 20 bpm higher than normal. I need to find a way to relax before a race.

Either way, a new PR by 9 minutes.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for an hour.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

MY training fell off the map during November and December

Event comments:

I have only done two half-marathons and this was the best of the two. I liked this event because it is not as crowded as the Houston Marathon..
