Pre-race routine:

Managed to drag myself out of bed a couple of hours before race start to eat some breakfast.

Event warmup:

I arrived about 40 minutes before start and went for a 15 minute jog to warm up with 2 sweatshirts and trackies over my shorts and T shirt. Boy, that wind was cold. Then I left all the layers in the car and went to the start about 10minutes to go. Of course that was enough time to get freezing cold again

Comments:

Wow, my HR says it all. Started high and never went down! Partly adrenaline I hope. Last bit was hard but didn't feel like I was going to die after crossing the finish line (which I did last year)
I started in just the right place so no hoards to overtake and no hoards overtaking me - though a couple of girls whizzed past like I was standing still.

What would you do differently?:

Stay in the warm until a few minutes before start

Post race

Warm down:

Jogged back to the car to get my sweatshirt layers again.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ha, this is the fastest I have ever gone. 7:20/mile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't have gone faster. My time last year was 24:41 which I wanted to beat and I smashed that so very pleased with myself

Event comments:

I have never seen so many doughnuts in my life! There were healthy fruit options as well though.
This is a very well organised, women only race and the atmosphere with women cheering for each other is very nice
