Comments: Oh...5k's are my nemesis! I'm much more of an endurance racer and don't like the uncomfortable feeling straight out the gate. I went out at a quick pace to get away from most of the people and got about 5:50 for the first mile but my pace dropped after that. Two of my friends were in front of me until one of them slowed a little and he stuck at my back until the end. I don't have a kick and he flew right past me at the finish line! All in good fun :) I don't think I'll be doing any more 5k's, maybe except for this particular race every year since it's the first race back to racing for me after 9 years. It was a good day with good friends...just how I like it! Oh yeah, not including my teenage years, this is a PR for me! What would you do differently?: Well, if I do another 5k I may try to actually pace it starting with a 6:15mi instead of 5:xx. I tend to fade really bad in the last mile, so maybe that will help.  Post race
Warm down: Hmm...a small cup of Guiness and taking some photos :) What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm not completely rested for this race, last monday was one of my 20 milers and I had a VO2max and tempo workout during the week. Not sure how much faster I can go if fresh though. Event comments: I like this race and will probably do it annually. A bunch of people in my Facebook fitness group do it too and I enjoy being there to watch them finish especially when this is a first 5k for some of them. Last updated: 2012-03-12 12:00 AM

Had an egg and cheese bagel with water at 7am. I drank some coconut water about an hour before the race. It's just a fun 5k so I didn't do anything special.
