Pre-race routine:

The usual cereal and toast breakfast. Drove out the the High School and managed to beat the crowd. Tinkered with the Garmin a little to get the display just right.
Event warmup:

Light jog out and back on the final mile of the course, then back inside to shed a few layers and stretch.

Comments:

Decided to change my usual strategy of going easy at the start and increasing my effort during the race and went out strong and tried to hold as best I could. The course seemed to be more uphill than down and that took its toll after the first 5-miles. I had been holding a sub-7 minute pace until then, but then I started having abdominal cramps which slowed me to about 7:15-7:30 for the rest of the race. Wind was miserable, but there were a few spots that were actually pleasant.

Warm down:

stretching, pizza, bagel, water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Adominal cramps, ouch!
