Pre-race routine:

Up about 5:15. Had a cup of coffee, oatmeal, banana. Hit the road, got there about 6:10, registration started at 6. No one there really, should have read last year race report. So, had time to kill, hit Starbucks for another cup and sat in car listening to music and reading some magazines.
Event warmup:

Nothing really, just hit the restroom. Did some light stretching at the start.

Comments:

Since I still have this nagging chest congestion, figured I would run and take it easy as a 6 mile prep to the half-mary in Aug. Figured I would try to run 9s and pick it up a little at the end to be around 54-55. Did pretty much that, but was tougher than expected. Was a nice cool, overcast day (had rain last night), but very humid about 75% or so.
What would you do differently?:

Not be sick, and train for it. Other than that, nothing given the situation.
Post race
Warm down:

Just walked around, ate up some fruit and drinks.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being sick and not training for it.

Event comments:

Great job, again. Good little 10K.
