Pre-race routine:

Ate doughnut while dropping off the kids. Planned on taking a Gu before the race, but forgot. Stood in line to get my packet and then went back to the car to get ready. They sent us out to the starting line early. We had two false starts where it seemed like the race had begun but they were just moving us up into the correct starting position.
Event warmup:

None

Comments:

Cold out and a moderately tough course. I'd say this was about 3rd toughest of the 10 or so I've done. Felt pretty good throughout. Did a good job using pace to help control heart rate. Felt crappy when my rate when up towards high 170's and felt better when I stayed closer to 160s. Ran the entire race.
What would you do differently?:

Might have started my sprint at the end a little sooner. I think I still had a little gas left.
Post race
Warm down:

Water and a sandwich. Very little stretching. Waited around on Katie/Leslie and Leigh Ann.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me as usual

Event comments:

My legs were tired and sore after my longest run week yet (21 miles prior to today, compared to my previous high of 17). All of my work is paying off. I was able to run the entire race at a good pace and control HR/breathing thru varying my pace.
