Pre-race routine:

Race was 5 minutes from house..so I slept late and wasn't the first one there for once. Had Banana and some Gatorade..I like the skinny feeling I have in morning so I didn't want to eat too much.

Event warmup:

Stretched a little and jogged slowly for 10 min.

Comments:

Was determined to push myself harder than I ever have. I felt great and just knew something special was going to happen. Most of my other runs were almost like training sessions..but today I wanted that Puke feeling at finish. Didn't have split for 1 mi but was at 19:00 for 2 miles and I knew I had a chance to break 30 mins. I had to stop because I couldn't breathe, but I checked watch and only gave myself 15 seconds walking. Race finished inside HS Track and when I came onto the track the scoreboard showed current race time and it was at 28:00 and I thought Holy Crap I just have to go around in under 2 min and I break 30 minutes, so I pushed as hard as I could and 29:17!!!!

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Warm down:

Threw rocks down storm drain with my son!! This was first event he was at.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight, but this race was PR so I am extremely happy!

Event comments:

This course was extremely well marked and had volunteers at every cross street..they didn't have timing chips which leads me to believe that my watch time of 29:24 is more accurate...but that's why they call it an official time
