Comments:

I hate 5K's- they really hurt but I'm always glad I did it after the fact. I felt pretty good, it was freaking cold out (34 degrees with the wind chill).
What would you do differently?:

Maybe not start out so fast, but I'm happy with the overall result.
Post race
Warm down:

none like usual and of course no stretching- I will probably be very sore tomorrow.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

typical lack of fitness

Event comments:

This is a really fun race to do and lots of people show up.
