Pre-race routine:

Shells with Shrimp & Lobster Sauce for supper the night before. Up at 4am ate 1/2 peanut butter and honey bagel with a red bull. Left Ellroee @ at 5:15. Missed exit and had to turn around. Parked behind Piggly Wiggly @ Sea Island shopping center. All went well. Finished Red Bull and sipped on a Blue Powerade. 1 swig of a 5 hr. energy and some cinnamon trident.
Event warmup:

1 mile run on backstreets with a stop for stretching out. Got into corral F @ 7:40. Race started at 8. Corral F made it to the start line @8:30. Not bad at all

Comments:

Well executed. Goal was to keep HR between 165 & 170. Moved to the front of the corral. Easily maneuvered through waves in front of me. I noticed when I was gasping for air my HR was around 170 so I would back off. Had enough to run hard for the last 200 yds. One of my best performances in keeping in control. I couldn't have run much faster w/o running too hard and having to hang on as I slowly crashed.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, LIke I said, I executed this race well.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked through crowd and got a bowl of watermelon, 1 bottle of water, 1 go brand of energy drink and a 1 Johnsonville Bratswurst on a bun. Sat at the corner of Meeting and Charlottte and waited for the rest of the crowd.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing

Event comments:
