Comments:

I am not used to running that distance I have to take my self out of my comfort zone an pick up the pace, I was winded the entire run!!! I was not going to be the 101st women to cross the finish and not get my medal!
Did not take water at the water-stop, Dont think I need it in a 5k. This was a PR for me so I am happy with the time and overall had a great run.
What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front and do more speed work to get faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a minute to get my heart rate down, got my medal, a bananna and water. ran into Jeff and we cheered Adam as he crossed the finish. As we were standing on the field, Jeff and I realized we were standing at the 50 yard line of Raymond James Stadium, home of the Buccaneers!!!!!!!!! Being a huge Buc's fan I just wanted to roll around on the grass but I held back so I would not look like to big of a dork.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of speed work.

Event comments:

I was very happy to meet Jeff and Adam today. I got my medal and I ran through the tunnel on to the football field at the Ray-J what more could I ask for.

Performance: Good
Course: Flat and a bit croweded for the 1st mile. I kept getting blocked in. I guess I should be like all the rest of the runners and go to the front at the start. Why does no one listen to the announcement "If you are not a fast runner please do not start in the front" I ran side to side for at least the first 1/2 mile.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
