Comments:

REALLY HOT out there. First mile was okay, but turning around the corner after mile 1 felt like running into an oven. Just didn't deal all that well with the heat, and turned out to be a little over a minute slower than my fastest 5k time.
What would you do differently?:

Probably nothing too much - with the duathlon tomorrow, and a softball tournament the rest of the day, I didn't want to push it too much. Should have tried to drink more, maybe.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My inability to run well in the heat.

Event comments:

This race had the BEST spread I've ever seen! Brats, italian beef, pizza, all sorts of ice cream novelties, and the normal stuff -- bagels, bananas, oranges, AWESOME cookies, granola bars, energIce. Definitely going on my calendar for next year... heck, I'll sign up, and not run so I can get in the food line earlier. :)
