Pre-race routine:

Woke up and drove 2 hours down to Nashville. Stopped in Hendersonville at the Starbucks.

Next door was a Krispy Kreme with the "Hot Donuts" sign illuminated. Seemed like a sign.

So I ordered three to go with my carmel macchiato.

May not have been the best idea.

Event warmup:

Stood in line in the LP Field restroom.

Comments:

I'm blaming it on the doughnuts, or maybe the training miles and no real taper. Just felt sluggish.

Still, I PR'd by one minute, so there's that.

Got to finish on the field inside the stadium. Titans cheerleaders were handing out the medals, so that was kind of cool.

What would you do differently?:

Stop by Krispy Kreme on the way home?

Post race

Warm down:

Long walk out of the stadium.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Warm, gooey goodness.
