Pre-race routine:

I totally screwed up. Set my weekday alarm but not my weekend alarm. JD called me at 6:35 wondering where I was. Jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, forgot to eat, drink anything. Booked it to the start. Arrived at 7:05, which ended up being fine. Felt frazzled and rushed.
Event warmup:

None...

Comments:

Overall, this was a well-paced race. JD started out at a pace that I knew was too fast. He was ahead of me for the first 4.5 miles but then I kicked it up a notch from that point and churned out a fast mile 5. I was crushing at the end--ran 5:22 pace for the last 0.2 miles.

I definitely ran a negative split race, which is a nice bonus--haven't done that in a long time!

All in all, a great race--felt good!
What would you do differently?:

I definitely should have tried to average a faster pace--had way too much in the tank at the end. I guess I was being conservative after doing the 4-miler last Sunday--I haven't done this kind of intense racing in half a decade.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Screwed up morning. Also, started in the 8:00 pace group, which meant that my first 0.5 miles were really tight.

Event comments:

Fun to see all the lawyers running!

Will sustained exercise at or near maximum heart rate increase the risk of heart damage, or heart failure. Is the cardiac muscle also subject to strain and damage as other muscles?

The crux of rehab was so simple: “Eat and exercise like your life depended on it.” It seemed to take all the guesswork out of the picture and make things that much easier for me.
