Pre-race routine:

I know this race report is a month old, but I just got around to doing it.

Ate a whole wheat English muffin with apple butter and drove to the race site. Meet up with Brett, picked up race gear, and went for a jog.

John Bingham (Penguin) was there from Runner's World, but unlike last year he didn't race. He was injured so just said a few words and we were off.
Event warmup:

Ran about a mile and did a short race pace segment.

Comments:

The more hilly nature of this course made it a little more difficult than I was hoping for, but a good run after all.
Post race
Warm down:

Jumped in the car and drove home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hills and slick conditions.

Event comments:

The post race activities and food were about a mile away so I never got and of the pizza that they promised. Time constraints made it not possible to go to the award ceremony. I wish they at least had a banana for those that couldn't make it.
