Pre-race routine:

Woke up and had 8oz ironman pearform Peanut butter on toast with bananas and 1/2cup of coffee lots of water
Event warmup:

Hd to go to Anchor for a photo with everyone, as usual to many running behind so we got the picture taken at 7:45 walked briskly to the start and had 5 min to spare, bumped into my sons friend so that was a nice distraction as I usually am nervous but I was using this as a training run so wasn't trying to "race" So I felt good

Comments:

I had fun today, took 10 min off my time on last year. I have never run the whole ten always had to walk and usually felt miserable, so it felt good to be able to finally do it and feel good
What would you do differently?:

Pushed a little harder but again I didn't want to walk and am not sure of my pace but as I said without the HR monitor I definetly was more aware of how I was feeling
Post race
Warm down:

Did a little stretching while waiting for the whole group to come in our trainer ran with his 8 year old so sort of forgot to stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself

Okay....what do you mean not impressive!?  You took TEN MINUTES off last year's time.  Ten minutes!!!  That means you are running a whole minute faster per mile.  That is EXACTLY what I call impressive!

JoAnne congrats on the great effort. You didn't walk at all and you took 10 minutes off your time. That is a big improvement over last year, very impressive.

I have to agree with everyone else, 1 minute per mile is a HUGE improvement!

Great effort and to not have walked makes it all that much better!
