Pre-race routine:

Start Time was 12:30 pm so I had the usual peanut butter and honey on toast. 1 slice at 8:30 and 1 slice at 10:00.
Stomach was growling at the start line - "hungry"
Event warmup:

None - typical jumping up and down and shouting Aroo, Aroo, Aroo.
Post race
Warm down:

2 Core Power shakes worked really well. powerade and a chicken salad sandwich.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Legs were on the edge of cramping. Painful quads going downhill especially. So much pressure on the muscle right above the knee.
Hills were Heart Rate Smashers. Had to slow down to keep HR in check.

Event comments:

Really tough test of physical and mental limits.
Really sore the next day and the day after that.
