Pre-race routine:

Stretching. Ate 1/2 of 1/2 of a bagel with jelly and 1/2 of a banana. Very tough to eat -- was too nervous and felt sick to my stomach. Drank 10 ounces gatorade and 4 ounces water.

Event warmup:

Little bit of walking. It was a very hot and humid day.

Comments:

I picked out two girls from my running program to shadow. I could never keep up with them, so I figured if I ran just behind them, then they would take me to a new PR. They got way in front of me and I just let them. They eventually had to take walking breaks, and I ended up passing both of them.

My race plan was to pick it up at the 2nd mile marker, but it wasn't marked. The third mile wasn't marked, either, and I didn't realize how close I was to the finish line.

What would you do differently?:

Run faster earlier. I had some left at the end of the race. But I set a new PR by 2 minutes 41 seconds since April.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around a bit and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not realizing I was closer to the finish line. I could have gone faster earlier, but I doubted my ability to hang in there. It was also very hot and humid and I should have drank more on the course.

Event comments:

This was the first race Thomas attended, and it was great to have him there at the finish line.
