Pre-race routine:

Just walked around, had some water, ate a couple clif bloks.

Event warmup:

Nada, I figured the first couple miles would work just dandy as a warm up.

Run

1h 55m 9s
13.1 miles
08m 47s min/mile

Comments:

I felt great for almost the entire run- at around mile 5 I started to lose my rhythm and started to think bad thoughts, but I took a gel with caffeine and that made all the difference. Started to pick up the pace at mile 9 and finished strong. My strategy was picking out marks to concentrate on passing and that worked really well to keep me moving.

What would you do differently?:

I wouldn't have changed a thing- I did much better than I expected.

Warm down:

I walked around for awhile, and stretched out a lot. I used some Badget Sore Muslce Rub on my calves and quads to try to work out the lactic acid. And then of course a reuben and fries at The Retreat!

Event comments:

I was surprised when I came down to the last stretch & saw the clock that I was sub-two hours. What a shock! I had only been hoping to beat 2:12.
