Comments: I ran really well today and my results show it. A PR and first time I broke 8min miles! I always race well when I have a pre-race disaster! I think it gets my adrenaline flowing. What would you do differently?: Not much. Maybe pack the beta shoes in the car, but who plans on breaking a shoe lug? Post race
Warm down: Get my head back together, drink about a gallon to replace what I sweated out. Have some sandwich wraps, fruit and socialize. What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat. Lose some weight; you'll do even better! Event comments: A good local race where I'm friends with many in the field. A good social one.

Get there way early. Go to get out of the car, step down and break a lug / shock absorber off of the heel of my Nike shoes. Drive like mad back home, pull the beta pair out of the closet, drive like mad back and make it with some time to spare. Get my number and bag (tons of coupons and stickers, a water bottle and shirt designed by a child (cool)), pin on my number and stretch.
Stretch, stretch and stretch some more. My Achilles is getting worse at this point. Jog a bit, sprint a bit, get to the line and get onto the street as soon as police block traffic. Off quickly!
