Comments:

This was my first ever 5k race so I was not sure what to expect. I had two goals going into the race, running the whole race and coming in with a sub 30' time. If I would have achieved my goal of running the whole race I would have easily achieved my time goal. Overall for my first race it wasn't bad but I think I could have done better.
What would you do differently?:

Give it my all. I think at the end I had a little to much left in the tank and want to make it through the race without walking any of it.
Post race
Warm down:

Jogged and walked back to the car, about 6 blocks.
