I'm excited about my first race. I'm planning on going out at a fairly fast pace and try to push it on each consecutive mile, sprint to the finish. I've been training for several months, had a couple of setbacks and am finally getting to race!

Any last minute suggestions?

The Before and Now Pictures thread is my all-time RA favorite, the First Race Tips thread is a close second because of Jake Knight's post.

Best of luck with it, have fun!

Great minds think alike, which has absolutely nothing to do with AmoresPerros and I. AP is faster, but mine is purtier.
