Pre-race routine:

Had a super shake for breakfast before leaving. Beautiful day for a run! Put on my base layer due to the chill in the air. Went to the washroom about 20min before start, line up? at the mens room? Haha... not used to that.
Event warmup:

Just kept moving and people watching with my wife and family. Fun times... where did all of these rabbits come from?

Comments:

I still think I was pretty well prepared for this one. I think the hills slowed me down a little, but I am sure that they slowed everyone down, so not an excuse!
What would you do differently?:

Ditch the base layer... to hot once I got going...

Warm down:

Tried not to fall down... faint or throw up... Haha... Hilary was a great help here. Love ya baby! Met up with the kids and went into the rec' centre to wait for the GREAT prize drawings and eat the free food and drink the free drinks. RAN OUT OF COFFEE!? Haha sorry for the loss baby!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Went out a little fast, but I was feeling good... then the hills... Haha... killer!

Event comments:

Fantastic race!!! Very well organized and run! Will do this one again!
