Pre-race routine:

Got my coffee and oatmeal. Left with plenty of time to get to the race.

Got lost. Drove through some interesting neighborhoods in Oakland. Showed up 2 minutes before the "official" start of the race. Discovered that they didn't have my pre-registration, was told that I wasn't the first to have that happen.

After all that, fortunately, the race started 20 minutes late. A race with 60 people in it can do that type of thing without a lot of grumbling.

Comments:

For only having been back in the routine for 2 weeks, I was a little surprised I got under 30 minutes. The rollers were tough. I got through the first several rollers without walking and then walked about halfway up the rest of them.

The weather was cool enough that I didn't take any drinks, on the course. Partly this was because I didn't need it, and partly this was because I was in a tiny group of runners. They didn't take any drinks, so I didn't feel like losing spots to them.

Event comments:

It's always been a small race. I'm not sure they'd know what to do if they got more than a hundred people showing up.
