Pre-race routine:

I didn't do so hot on this one. All I had was a glass of OJ and half a banana. It really killed me because I ran out of energy at the end. It's just so hard to eat at 6 AM when you're not hungry!
Event warmup:

Again, I should have warmed up, stretched, jogged, etc. Didn't do any of that. I am seeing that I completely missed the boat on this one.

Comments:

Started out strong until about the 2nd mile. Lost a lot of momentum, but never gave up. I didn't walk at all, which I was proud of.
What would you do differently?:

I would have drank more water, eaten more, stretched more, jogged to warm-up. Basically-everything!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked for about 10 minutes to cool down. Drank a bottle of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition/hydration/lack of sleep night before.

Event comments:

What a well-run race!!! I was so impressed. There were booths with goodies- I came away like a kid after Christmas with all this stuff. Plenty of free powerbars, propel water, t shirts, and lots of booths with info about breast cancer, since this was a "run to cure breast cancer." Overall, the best 5K i've ever done!

Lisa - good job! You should sign up for the Fantasy of Lights 5K at Tradewinds Park in November - it is one of the few night races, so you can eat a regular meal beforehand. Plus it is a big race and very well run. And, Go Gators!

Great race!  Way to hang in there and never give up.  You were right at Sawgrass Mills?  I was just north of you with my race.  It was in Coral Springs just south of Sample and the Sawgrass Expy.  Ditto on the Festival of Lights race.  It's an awesome time if you've never done it.  My kids even love that one.
