Comments:

This was my first race with Garmin FR 310xt and wanted to run under 7/min/mi. With the GPS watch letting me know what pace I'm running, I was able to run just under my target pace. Finished the race 19s faster than my last 5M race in October. Felt great and enjoyed the run despite the cold temp at 26F.
What would you do differently?:

not much.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate banana & bagel, walked about 10 blocks to my gym and stretched.
