Pre-race routine:

Grabbed a Honey Stinger Waffle on my way out the door then we stopped at Sbux for a beverege for the drive. I had a dirty chai and DS1 had a white mocha (me thinks). We drove the 45 minutes or so to the elementary school for which this race is organized (a great school fundraiser if you ask me). We went and picked up our packets and got our timing chips (first time for DS1) then went back to the car to attach said timing chip and bib.
Event warmup:

Walked around some looking at the student art in the school. Hit the restroom, which was a nice change from the usual port-o-potties. Lined up and listened to the school choir sing the national anthem (pretty cool) and we were off!

Comments:

What a great event. This is the main fundraiser for this school. There were kids everywhere! It was so much fun running with the little kids! They would blast past us then we would eventually catch up as they walked, then they'd blast past us again! DS1 did a great job and didn't walk for quite a while but the constant up hill and the elevation (above 7,000 ft) wore on him so we walked at about a mile then again just before the turn around. Great event with beautiful scenery. Def a do-again race.
What would you do differently?:

Abso-frickin-lutely nothing. Had a great 5k with my son!
Post race
Warm down:

After walking around a bit and enjoying the fruits and water at the finish (they had lots of options including coffee) we went to a local coffee shop and got coffee (another dirty chai for me) and some breakfast for our trip back home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Enjoying the race with my son and with all the little kids.

Event comments:

This was a fun race and I would recommend it for someone wanting to do a small home-town race.
