Run
Comments: I had been slacking a bit the 3 weeks prior to the race. But I was shooting for a personal record of 27 minutes. I definitely beat that time, but it was because the course was short. I was on track to finish just a hair over 27 minutes if I kept my pace. Overall, I was happy with my performance. I kept close to my goal pace even with the hills thrown in. I felt like I left it all out on the course. What would you do differently?: Started closer to the front of the pack. Trained more prior to the race. Post race
Warm down: Walked around for a while until my HR settled down. Eventually just made my way to my car and headed home. Had some gatorade and a clif bar on the way home. What limited your ability to perform faster: Could have gained a little bit of time starting towards the front of the pack. But the main limited was just my fitness level. Event comments: Overall it was probably just an average race. No complaints on the quality of the course. But the distance was a bit short and there wasn't too much special about it. I'd probably try and find a different race to run around this time next year. But I would run it again if it was the only one that fit into my schedule. Last updated: 2013-08-22 12:00 AM

Had a bowl of cereal at home and a latte on the way to the race. Arrived about an hour early and got my race bib and timing chip. Hung out around the fire to keep warm while waiting for the race to begin.
Short warmup jog and some stretching.
