Pre-race routine:

5th year doing this race, and this year had the best conditions ever (to make up for last years insane snowfest).

Up just after 6am, 1.5 pop tarts, a bit of coffee and to the university.

Wore Zoot energy shoes (IM pair), zoot shorts, tech short sleeve and last years race shirt.
Event warmup:

Jog outside to force a potty break and some quicker running inside on the track. Then to the start line.

Event comments:

A bit long and a bit hilly, but a good standard "benchmark" race. Also ranks only by chip time (YAY) instead of trying to be stupid and go with gun time.

Performance: Good
Tried to keep it 155-159, but HR strap went loony in the 2nd half - showed me at 200 (not correct). Watch showed a solid 4:15 avg pace for the whole race.
Course: Single lap around resevoir, same as always. Course showed 350m long according to most Garmins, so my sub-1:30 pace was just short. A rather hilly course compared to most of our other local races, and the altitude adds a few mins.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
