Pre-race routine:

Ate my Special K and an English muffin. Drank some H20. Left at 7:40 for 9:15 start.
Event warmup:

Got to CC about 8:15. Parked and then did leg stretches Katie at Clinix taught me...side squats/big steps. Felt good and warmed up afterwards. Race about 30 minutes away. Went to Safeway entrance to meet up with Parker Tri Club. Didn't do any stretches,warmup right before race start.

Comments:

Steady pace throughout whole race. Ran with laura,marty and abby for first two miles. Had some water at about 2.5 miles and got a side stitch. Ran through it. Started to get hot at third mile. Started to feel crappy in ast 1.5 miles, but pace stayed the same. Laura and I dropped Marty at the last water station. Fuel Belt screwed me up again, as I dropped it mid-race for the second rac ein a row.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get in my own zone so I don't get so "beat up" in comparison to my similar length training runs.
Post race
Warm down:

Cooled off for afew minutes in the cloriously coool Safeway market. Went into the facilities and splashed my face and chest with cold water.

Walked about 1/2 mile to the car then did same stretches as earlier.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and "race day tension"

Event comments:

Excellent event. Run start was far better than I expected with the amount of people in the race. Bands playing along course made for a fun atmosphere. Running with PTC members.

Looks like you had a pretty good race.  Good pace for 5 miles anyway.  Good job.
