Comments: Tricky day heat-wise. Sun got warmer at about mile four, most folks ditched their gloves and hat. I stuffed my in my jacket. First six-seven miles were great, loved the hills. Started to have calf cramps on mile eight, resolved by mile ten, fairly strong 5K at the end with last mile a flat out sprint (with what I had left). What would you do differently?: More salt, more breakfast. Post race
Warm down: Walked for 10 minutes and stretched calves. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough breakfast and not enough electrolyte. Event comments: Not many porta-potties on the course. None until roughly mile 6-8. Had to make a detour to McDonald's. Long lines for food at post-party, but the food was good and worth the wait.

Flying solo, so had to keep everything with me. Arrived at the venue about 1.5 hours prior to start, parked at remote parking, a very good idea. Had a banana and coffee for breakfast.
Walked and then ran for 20 minutes with some strides.
