Comments:

I was pleased with this effort. This was my first event since coming back from my injury last fall. I have very little base, but I ran pretty consistently and felt pretty good. Start was a little chaotic - the horn went off rather suddenly surprising a lot of people.
What would you do differently?:

More miles!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a little trying to find water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training due to injury

Event comments:

Always a fun race. They really should have water available right at the finish line so you don't have to go searching for it. They should also consider having a timing mat at the start of the 5K so that the times reflect chip time (they are gun times).
