Pre-race routine:

Got up at 6am and had Honey nut Cheerios for breakfast. Arrived at the park at 7:30 to check-in. The race started at 9am, so there was plenty of time to relax and warm up.
Event warmup:

I walked part of the course then did some running drills (high-knee, butt-kicks, and grapevines). Then did some short runs at race pace (8min/mile)

Comments:

Nice run. I kept a good pace and only walked at the aid station (1.7 miles). It was a little crowded early on and that slowed me down a bit.
What would you do differently?:

I would have started closer to the front. I ended up passing a lot of people.
Post race
Warm down:

Just walked around and ate some bananas.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Traffic early in the race really slowed me down.

Event comments:

Small but fun trail run in Lk Sammamish State Park.
