Comments: Not sure how I feel about this race. My goal time was not even close to being met, even if I calculated it based on an actual half without the extra quarter mile added. People started fast and I went with the group and within the first few minutes just felt "flat". Around mile 1.5-2.5 my shoes came untied twice! Never had this problem before and they were double knotted, so I'm blaming them getting soggy from the rain. Once I lost sight of the woman in 2nd from bending down to tie my shoes I felt like I lost my chance at having that motivation. What would you do differently?: Since this was more of a C race, I wouldn't do much differently. I felt flat, but I'm assuming that's because the harder workouts I had so close to the race. Although I normally wouldn't taper a ton for only a half, this was at the end of a large building block of training so I really felt the fatigue during the race.  Post race
Warm down: 15minutes Z1 immediately after I finished What limited your ability to perform faster: End of tough training block so felt tired and flat, but considering it wasn't a goal race I'm not too upset about that. Event comments: Well organized race, lots of volunteers and at a good time in the early season. Last updated: 2014-05-22 12:00 AM

The race started at 8am, so I got up 3 hours before to do my usual routine of eating a powerbar and a cup of applesauce 3 hours before. After that I start sitting on water and gatorade until race start.
20 minutes as 5min Z1, 5x30sec race pace, 1:30 ZR, and 5min ZR-Z1. I finish this where I almost can run right to the starting line and take a powerbar gel and last sip of water right there.
