Comments:

Felt good...started in the 20-24 minute 5k group. I ran my race, didn't worry about anyone else and it paid off. I wanted to run around 8:00 m/m and did just that.
What would you do differently?:

Went faster...hahaha the race was suppose to be 5 miles so I paced myself for that and it ended up being 4.5 so I had a lot of energy left

Warm down:

None

Event comments:

This is a great race series with awesome prizes / swag bag and give aways...

I ended up with a pretty bad ass wooden plaque with the logo/ag/date burnt in...a 6 pack of local beer...a case of water and I won a $80.00 North Face backpack...pretty great day and overall great race!
