Comments:

Overall, the run felt great, I think I could have pushed a little harder but not much. I am happy with mine time for my first 5K, and have only been running for 3 months
What would you do differently?:

got a little more rest the night before.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked for around 5 minutes to cool down, drank a small amount of endurox for recovery

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think nothing at this point other than I need some more time running, I look forward to constantly increasing my weekly mileage and hopefully at the same time decreasing my 5k time

Event comments:

The race overall seemed to be a little unorganized, but for an inaugural race it was well put together. The course is very flat and is good if you want to test your flat out speed on a 5k
