Hilly, lots of mud from farm equipment, seemed uphill mostly coming back. didn't pain cave it too much. Tried to eat nutella tortilla towards the end. Had a very good average however. Can't complain.

pain cave it

Comments:

My 5k PR, regardless of event. Dude that got second in my age group passed me. I held with him for half mile or so but he lost me on the last incline. My best ever run though. Felt good right off the bike with long strides.
What would you do differently?:

Not lose that dude on the hill.
Post race
Warm down:

drank water and walked around. Got my warm up on and tore down transition. Not enough stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just mental toughness. More urgency in transition. I use them as rest stops.

Event comments:

Indoor transition area was fabulous. Really enjoyed myself. Will be back. Great field. Great bakery in Sioux Center.
