Comments:

Overall this was a great run for me. I felt better than I expected at a pace faster than I expected which was great. I picked it up a little for the last quarter mile or so.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked off the course and did a pretty decent job of stretching which is relatively rare for me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Additional speed work would be required to go faster.

Event comments:

This was my first year running the 5k at Borgess. It's really a great race, largely because of the large number of people participating.
