Pre-race routine:

The race had a 9 a.m. start and was fairly close to home so I did my normal morning routine.
Event warmup:

It was a cool morning so I made sure I warmed up the legs with a about a half mile of jogging. Also threw in some dynamic stretches.

Comments:

I knew I needed to bank some time on the early portion of the race since it was flat/downhill. Did pretty well with a 7:53 mile 1 split. I gave a little back on the 2nd mile with a 8:06 split even though it was a pretty flat section. Mile 3 was a net uphill (slight) but I managed a 7:49 split.
What would you do differently?:

Well, I wish I could have squeezed another 3 seconds out of my time to go sub 25 minutes. I was pleased with my effort...I went as hard as I could. My heart rate data showed me in zone 4/5 the whole time.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around looking for a buddy that was racing too. Got something to drink and ate some bananas.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

more run base. I had PF this time last year. Started running in February but got sidelined 3 weeks with a calf injury at the end of May.

Performance: Good
Garmin showed me at 25:05 for 3.16 miles...7:57 pace.
Course: Pretty flat out and back in an office park...definitely a course that you can PR on. Slight flat to downhill for the 1st 1.5 miles. Of course, you have the reverse of that coming back.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
