Pre-race routine:

Early wake up. Eat breakfast, drink lots of water. I had the wonderful idea of having a few beers the night before. Needed some extra water to get the remnants out of system.
Event warmup:

Lots of stretching, jog back out and back a few times.

Comments:

This was a bit bizaarr for me this time. I felt really good, but wasn't sure if I was really running my race pace. I almost felt like I was more at my training pace. Legs felt good and kept my breathing in relative control, until the last 1/2 mile. Crushed the hill and stairs this time. I didn't need the recovery after the stairs like I did last year.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe try to push my pace a bit more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk and drink water until I catch my breath. Some light stretching, eat what ever food is onsite.

Event comments:

This race was very well organized and had plenty of volunteers. I wish there were more people in the race.

Performance: Good
Course: This is one of the harder courses I run throughout the year. It is a loop that starts and ends on a soccer field. This year it was dry and the grass was cut well. The course has a moderate hill towards the start and end of the race. Steps/hill at the halfway point. The course was well marked with distance markers.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
