I know better for next time, so I learned something at least.

Besides the cone run that we didn't hear about and you didn't know about until after the run group -- what else will you do differently at another event like this?
For me, lesson from Sunday is - DO push hard on the 1st run to find the limits, then tighten things up for the 2nd, and if needed, 3rd runs. Also, really tighten my tennis shoes before course walking 5 times. And if I go back to Atwater I'll just find a motel there instead of Merced, and save another 10-15 minutes driving back & forth. Lastly - it would have been a good idea to get there Friday morning & take the opportunity to do fun runs. If you're going to participate in that calibre of a race, why not take advantage of every opportunity to learn what the car feels like at the actual event site.
