Pre-race routine:

Arrived around 7:30am to park. Brought Isaac and the baby jogger and ran to the registration to buy a chip. I had already registered but found out that i couldn't register for the RunTex Distance Challenge unless i had my own chip.

Event warmup:

Walked around a little then just waited for the race to start. It started about 15 minutes late. Little Isaac was getting impatient.

Comments:

Forgot my hat so running into the sun was not very comfortable. Left calf is still TIGHT and painful. Practiced 4min run with 1min walk, and picked up the pace(sprinted) for the last quarter mile to finish strong. Aerobically i was fine and could have run faster overall, but for the calf! Oh well.

What would you do differently?:

Give Isaac more food before the race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:
