Comments:

Should have taken some water at the 1.5 mile bcuz mouth was really dry. Did not take water since I have not taken water in the last 2 mnths of training and was afraid I would cramp.
1 mile - 9:51min
2 mile - 10:25 (20:16)
3 mile - 12:17 (32:33) walked twice for a total of 3:20min on last mile.
3.1 mile - 1:07 (33:41)
What would you do differently?:

Drink the water and the water station.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and drank the water until I could finally breath normall.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much, I have been training for 2 months and only ran 3 miles 3 times, which was a run walk the last mile. Next 5k is March 26 and I hope by then I will be running the full 3 miles.

Event comments:

I wish they would have posted the race results. 5K race was over by 9am and I had to wait until about 10:30am to find out I finished 3rd in my age group and after I found out I had to leave. I still dont know how many where in my age group. Will need to call the YMCA to see if they can tell me.
