Comments:

Good course, easy to follow. I think I ran this just right. It was very tough to hold on at the end. I wanted to quit about 30s from the finish, so I ran right to my limit. Clock time said 19:55, but my chip time was 20:03. Garmin says 19:55 as well, so I'm going with that. So sub-20. I totally did it. The 3rd place/2nd AG was nice too. Time to set my Daniels' VDOT.
What would you do differently?:

I may have gone at a hair too fast at the beginning, but I paced it really well. The last mile was all focus and I almost started walking about 30s from the finish. That's good pacing right? :D

Warm down:

Stop heaving...then jog a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. Sub 20 was the goal.

Event comments:

Good race. It's a nice 5K/10K for fun. I really like the low key stuff. Nice to have a 3rd place/2nd AG. Never podiumed before...
