Comments: Very solid run overall. My pacing was right on. The first 5 miles were down wind and then you turned into it. On the first lap I did a very good job of getting on people's shoulders to get a break from it. With everyone spread out, it was much more difficult on the second lap. My nutrition was right on, because I really felt pretty strong the whole way. Mile 11 was a disaster because I had to veer off course to use the rest room. I had held it so long by that point, that I couldn't go! It took forever. I walked every drink station and at least 2 glasses of water at each. That worked out very well. What would you do differently?: During the race, nothing.  Post race
Warm down: Stretched some, ate food, drank some water and Powerade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training hard the week before and not at all the month before that! Event comments: Some drink stations were a bit short on volunteers on the first lap. Given the wind, it might have been good to have some extra stops. As it was, they had them every two miles.

| Elite 3088 Austin, TX Gold member | Subject: RE: RunTex 20/10 Miler Well, the cookie was one of the chocolate chip ones from the HEB grocery. Sooooo good. The breakfast taco seemed like a decent choice, carbs, protein, a little fat. The DC is simply a necessity for me. I need my caffeine. The crackers were an after thought. I had one of those 6 cracker packages left from another race. I figured I needed a few more calories before the start, so I had a couple. I took the other 4 out on the course along with a small Cliff bar and 4 gels. It worked for me! I couldn't get my normal pre-race bagel and egg sandwich because Einstein Brothers wasn't open yet. |

Had a chocolate chip cookie and some water before leaving at 6. Stopped for a breakfast taco and a diet coke on the way. Had a couple of peanut butter cheese crackers before race time.
Got there plenty early and started moving around to get my blood flowing. Walking, jumping jacks, etc. Ran for about 5 minutes and then stretched really well. I made sure to focus on getting my ankles limber and my calves stretched. I felt pretty good at race time.
