I had a great run it was my fastest 5k pace ..
What would you do differently?:

try to start a little bit more towards the front of the pack. I was boxed in a few times which I had to slow down and wait for a safe location to pass.

My bike performance always irritates me as I get passed numerous times like i am standing still. I have only been ridng a road bike since june of 2009. I need to be patient and let my training improve this area.
What would you do differently?:

more training with longer distance rides. Play more scratch offs and hopefully win and buy a faster bike.

Post race
Warm down:

walked around and did a few light stretches and beat myself up about my slow bike ride.. I should have been celebrating my finish and other accomplishments.. which I eventually did with a massive burger and large beer shortly after.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my bike training and or my entry level bike..

Event comments:

Race was great, I was pleased with my run times since I broke some personal records. The Race was well organized and the volunteers were really friendly and encouraging the entire time... I am looking forward to next year and improving.
