Pre-race routine:

Wake up, get in gear, eat a Kate's granola bar and a cup of coffee and drive to start. Start was near our friends house, so we didn't need to get up too early.
Event warmup:

Stand around and shiver. 36 is too cold!

Comments:

Great inaugural run. I have never done a rock n roll, but it seemed well organized. It was unseasonably cold, but Mel an I had a good race. I am not sure I can take 10+ minutes off this time next week, but i am going to try.
One thing that was very different was that the first miles where tough, but 6-10 flew by. Usually it is the other way around for me.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, maybe work out during the week.

Performance: Good
I may download later. Some of the mile markers and my watch disagreed. However, we were keeping pretty near to a 9 minute mile pace the whole race.
Course: Lots of switchbacks, which was different. Some small inclines and declines, not even hills, which makes for a nice change.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
