Pre-race routine:

Didn't have peanut butter for my english muffins - booo! - so I had to settle for a granola bar. Wouldn't really matter but I was running 3 miles after the race for my long run.
Event warmup:

jogged from my car about 2/3 of a mile to the race start, then did some dynamic stretches.

Comments:

I tried to keep in mind that short races don't feel comfortable, but that I shouldn't go too hard too fast. I also was thinking about the 7:55 mile trial I did at track, and how blazing fast that was for me! And I ran 4 x 800 after that, so I could do this race.
What would you do differently?:

I do wish I had pushed a little harder (always!). But it was a tougher course with quite a few decent size rolling hills, and there was a big hill to start, so I guess overall this was a good race. And the benefit of running tiny community races? 3 out of 14 in my AG!!! Never been there before!!

Warm down:

Stretched then Ran 3 miles.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

it was hot and humid, so I got that head-gonna-explode feeling. Probably could have gone a little harder on a cooler day. Thank goodness it started at 8:30!

Event comments:

It was a very small local race, so I didn't expect much. It was a nice small race, although a tougher course.
