Pre-race routine:

This was a 7pm start, so tried to just keep well hydrated. Didn't eat the greatest through the day--need to watch that next time.
Event warmup:

Ran about 600m with my youngest son as he completed the kids kilometer race (oldest was way ahead of him). Got my HR up to 160 doing that! Took a chocolate power gel about 20 minutes before the race. It was alright, but I did it without water, which in hindsight was probably not the best idea.

Comments:

Ran the whole thing, and bettered my time last week by 24 seconds. It was hard, though.
What would you do differently?:

Not sign up for a race on a weekly basis ;) I think I ran this race pretty smart, my pace was fairly even, and had a nice sprint towards the end. Passed a few people, but don't know yet where I stand in the results--won't know til probably tomorrow.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for a bit, then back to the truck and home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

That I'm so slow? There really was nothing. Weather was mild, I was well rested, had hydrated well.

Event comments:

Nice little neighbourhood race. Chip timed. They seemed to have plenty of food after the race, but it was all fruit :) They did the kids race before the adult race, which was a much better idea. It was nice to have an event for both the kids. Ran out of trophies for the kids, however, which is not great.
