Comments: Since I blew the last race off and this one was 5 minutes from my house, I decided to do this the night before. I have been having some lightheadedness in my workouts so I was hoping it wouldn't here. It didn't!! I am not fast. I am old and a tad overweight! So the time was good for me. What would you do differently?: There is not enough room to lament on what I would do differently. I shouldn't have any regrets considering I didn't have a panic attack, heart attack or finish dead last! Post race
Warm down: I picked up some water and a banana. Then I went directly to my car as I had to drop off my wife's car at the tire shop! Does spending two and one-half hours waiting around count as a warm down. I did hit the McDonalds next door for some breakfast and then walked over to the sporting goods place to pick up headlamps for my son's camping trip. Am I boring you yet? What limited your ability to perform faster: I have no ability. I just have two legs that luckily have not fallen off, yet!! Seriously my running is subpar but it keeps me active. Event comments: This is a nice small race for the school district (unfortunately not my kid's) to race scholarship money. There were a lot of kids, children I should say. And they were MUCH faster than me which did not bother me at all. What bother me was the two guys in front me having a leisurely conversation at a pace I could barely breath at. Oh well that is the way it goes. Last updated: 2012-09-28 12:00 AM

Got up at 7am. Decided to do the race. Drove about 5 minutes and signed up. Hit the porta-potty as I had bad pizza the night before. Drank some Gatoride Perform. Went back to my car and warmed up.
Stretched a little.
