Am -  Got to the course around 9, was just feeling whatever, kinda tired.  Did about 3 miles of warmup then stood around forever at the start line during introductuions.  Man, I probably yawned 8 times in 10 minutes.  Didn't feel super pumped up.

I got out pretty good.  Came through 1 mile in 4:55 which felt crazy fast and tiring, even though that should have been pretty good.  All the little bumps felt like freakin huge hills, it sucked.  I can't remember a time I've felt more tired/crappy in a race.  Each time the course turned to the south I attempted surges of speed and couldnt hold them.  By 2 miles it was getting to my head and it felt like the race would never end.  Turning onto the final stretch, I gave one last mental push and probably passed 5-10 guys.  Pretty dissapointing to have Nike go the way it did.  I had the total belief I could get top 21 and then my body just wasn't there.  Did some cool down, like a mile.

Luckily bad races don't get to me too much.  I'm ready as a desert chiva to get redemption at footlocker.
