Pre-race routine:

Just walked over to the start as the race is in my town.
Event warmup:

Just ran a few hundred yards. Oddly, that warm-up went extremely poorly (very tired, both legs and generally tired) yet a scored a PR on the rawce itself.

Comments:

Felt really ggod. Managed reverse splits (due in part to the climb in the first half). Felt like I was gonna hurl at the end. Guess that indicates a good, honest effort :-). Scored PR. My prior best was a bit over 7 minute miles...
What would you do differently?:

Had a long training bike the day before and my legs were stilled kinda cooked. Will avoid that...probably affeected my time even more than I think...
Post race
Warm down:

Finished and sat on a bench to wait for my girl to finish. Then had the requisite bagel, donut, water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My long training ride the prior day.

Event comments:

Good race - starts late in the day (10 AM), is walking distance from my home, fairly challenging course, got a PR...what more could I ask for?
