Pre-race routine:

Ate some eggs and a english muffin and drove down to USC! Got there pretty early and milled about for an hour.
Event warmup:

Jogged a bit. Stretched. Five mile is my normal routine so I viewed this as just a typical workout...with 9,999 oter people joining me.

Comments:

I could have run perhaps another minute or so quicker. Paced myself pretty well and I am very used to the 5 mile run distance.
What would you do differently?:

I would have started near the front. You were supposed to line up by pace, but many didn't and I was slowed down in the beginning trying to get in front of some slow pokes that wanted to start near the front or they thought they were much quicker than they really are.
Post race
Warm down:

Strech and got some food. Waited for wife and friend. Hard to find them though since everyone was wearing the same shirt and the finish line was split into right and left.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Moving through some crowds initially.

Event comments:

I really don't care for rap music which was the general theme (Vanilla Ice was playing). I would have like one-hit wonders better but oh well. I broke the 8 minute mile barrier for me for the first time in a race which was nice. Also, running onto the USC Football Field was awesome.
