Pre-race routine:

Hmm....let me laugh now....How about working all night and getting less than 2 hrs total sleep. Got off work at 610 or so. Had enough time to come home, take a shower, and grab a doughnut. Met up with Rich and his Dad and Julio
Event warmup:

Again..let me laugh

Comments:

Started off this run miserable. Legs sore, body tired, wondering what the hell made me do this on no sleep. No mile markers or water stations on this run so very hard to judge myself. Was running really strong until about 2.7 Because of the shape of the course it looked like the leaders were coming back towards me again. It reality they had already finished and were just stretching their legs out. That broke me mentally and I walked for about 30 sec until I could see that we really were almost done. Tried to kick it into a high gear at the end but had no energy reserves to tap
What would you do differently?:

Apparently nothing
Post race
Warm down:

None--talked to Rich and Julio. Hit the road so I could come home and sleep for 60 mins before coaching soccer

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me--as always

Event comments:

1st time for this race. No food or drinks for finishers WTF??? Wasn't going to stick around anyway because of my time schedule.

Good job. Hate I couldn't make it up and run with you, but I had to wait on AC guys to get here before I could leave. I was able to make it to our little run here though, and had almost the same time.

Way to go! Maybe you had decreased RPE, because you were half asleep.

WAY TO GO ERIC!!!!  Great PR and a massive leap in time.  I'm glad you didn't decide to do this on our 4 miler a few weeks ago or I couldn't have stayed with you.

Congrats!
