Pre-race routine:

Got up at 6:30, ate some oatmeal, drank water and some diet coke. Shower and hop in the car. Got to the race site about 7:30, registered ($30 for a 5K!?), and went for a warmup run.
Event warmup:

Ran about 10 minutes before our 8am meet up. When my TNTers got there and registered, we ran easy for about 7 minutes and stood around chatting for awhile until it was race time. Saw Jonathan (SwankGuy) and a few other people I knew.

Comments:

Pretty good, considering IM training has sapped all my speed, and general not training has sapped most of my fitness. This is a good benchmark--if course was accurate, would have been about a 22:35 5k. With some fitness and speedwork, I know I can get under 20 minutes.

Used this as an LT test, and it looks like it's 171.
What would you do differently?:

Train a bit, I guess.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a bit, cheered my runners in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

See above.

Event comments:

Good first year race (drew more than 400 people, which is great for Augusta). A couple of issues: waaay expensive for a 5k. Course mismeasured, and no awards (?).

Good job there Jim... wasn't aware that the course was a little long.  And I love the fact that we paid $30 for no awards, plus my f-in tee-shirt had a hole in it... but I liked the race anyway... WTF!?!?

That's why I didn't run it becuase I knew I wouldn't get an award for placing- kidding.  Great race for not doing a lot of speedwork!  This race has a lot of potential for next year!
