Pre-race routine:

Did not sleep well. Hubby snoring. Woke up at 0500. Ate bagel with peanut butter and coffee.
It was raining. Picked up the girls and we headed to the race. There was some bribing that was trying to take place. Money and free breakie if we would skip the race. I was the driver, so no such luck.
Event warmup:

Really too cold to do much. We all sat in the truck to keep warm.

Comments:

Felt good until I finished mile three. Walked one minute, then ran to mile four. Walked a bit, then ran. Walked some again on the uphill. I thought I was going to vomit tring to run up the hill. Yuk. Finished pretty good. I was cold, cold, cold.
Post race
Warm down:

Had water, banana and muffin. Froze!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to up my training miles, but I am unsure how to do that.

Event comments:

I would definately do it again
