Pre-race routine:

Ate raisin bran and cherrios about 2 and a half hours before race. Should of eaten something additional closer to the start of the race.
Event warmup:

Usually get to running races to late, but I got there with time to spare for this one. Did a very light jog for about 1/4 to 1/3 of a mile to loosen my muscles enough so I could stretch them better than usual. I think this helped.

Comments:

Felt ok but I knew I was stretching it given the fact that I have not been working out as much the last couple of months. I was really hurting the last mile, but I was glad I hung in there.
What would you do differently?:

Not get quite as lazy after the race season, but given how much I have been working out I'm pretty happy with this result.

Warm down:

Ran along with Caroline in the 7 to 12 year old half miler. Ouch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My hip and foot have been hurting for the last week so I had not worked out at all in the last week.

Event comments:

This is a very fun race. If you want to be really serious you will find some problems, but I had a great time with my family especially with the kids doing the Monster Mash Dash. They have a 2 to 4 year old division!!!
