Pre-race routine:

Same as always... bagel 2 hours before, gel about 30 minutes before.

Event warmup:

Still don't believe in more than a little light stretching before a race. The whole "run before the run" thing eludes me. :)

Comments:

Good run. Knee was bothering me a bit, so it was good that I was running with Marcie to keep me on pace and push through it.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing!

Post race

Warm down:

This was at a orthopedic college... afterwards they had the med students giving massages and working you over, telling you all the things that were wrong with my legs. :) Really cool, though and I'd do the race again just to have them work on me again!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ironing out those hills might have helped. Otherwise - no knee pain would have helped.

Event comments:

Great race. Lots of volunteers, good raffle afterwards. Lots of booths and free stuff. Great massage! I'll put this on my calendar for next year!
