Pre-race routine:

Got there two hours early. Usual pre-race breakfast of a toasted croissant and iced coffee.
Event warmup:

10 minutes of very easy jogging, followed by stretching. Got caught in the port-a-potty line at the start, which wasn't fun.

Comments:

Really good run today. PR by almost 4 minutes. Whoop! Previous PR was 1:40:01 at Providence Rock 'n' Roll Half 2012. I'm not likely to beat this time at the Rock 'n' Roll this September, because that course is much hillier. This one actually was, as most only claim to be, relatively flat.
What would you do differently?:

I thought I left plenty of time after the warm-up to get ready, but the bathroom line was much longer than I anticipated. Leave even more time? Plus, I could probably have maintained a quicker pace throughout. I had a lot of kick left for the last 2 miles, maybe too much.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching, and foraging in the food tent. Plus, I walked back to the parking lot instead of taking the shuttle. More stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing, really. It was a good run. I suppose, though, that being able to do the last couple of miles almost 20 seconds faster than the ones prior suggests I might have been able to maintain a quicker pace throughout.
