Pre-race routine:

Got up, had burnt raisin toast, OJ, and a cup of coffee. Got to the race, signed up, had some gatorade, and started to get ready for warmup
Event warmup:

I ran a slow pace jog for about 4-5 minutes. Did some high knees, butt kicks and kareokas to get loosened up. Got back to the site and did some stretching for about 3-4 minutes. I ended up ditching my running jacket for just a long sleeve drifit and my hammer vest.

Comments:

I ran pretty good, but my HR was really high due to trying to maintain a decent pace with all the hills. The firt mile was basically 90% all uphill. The second mile I used to recover.
What would you do differently?:

I think I could go faster a little bit I really had to work on the hills to keep the HT down.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched out. Walked around, saw some people and drove home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HIlls!

Course: This course was super hilly. I think it was uphill both ways. There were like 3 major downhills that were steep and long, but the uphills were long and there were 4 major uphills that really I didn't like at all. 2 of these were in the last 2 miles so that put quite the damper on hammering out the last 2 miles.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
