Ran for about 10 min to w/u. Stretched for another 10 min. Waited around a the start, did some legs stuff ( running in place, butt kicks, etc. ) to stay loose.

Comments:

Run was fun! I went out a bit fast, then backed it off a bit after mile 1, and kicked it up the last mile. Kicked a few times during the race to pass some packs and move up the field. I made 'em all stick. Only one person passed me back.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, it was just a fun race. I probably could have pushed it a bit more, but then I'd have been really hurting at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around, stretched, cheered the rest of the finishers for the next 15 minutes. Got cold at that point ( I was in shorts ), so went back to car and then came home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Marathon 3 weeks ago, and then doing nothing in the interim. :)

Event comments:

Fun 5k for a great cause. I found a new running path to go work out on too. The limestone path was really nice to run on. Good turnout and very well organized too.
