Comments:

didn't really feel in the groove till the third mile, probably need a longer warmup run to really loosen the legs. This was really more of a training run for me as I have bigger more significant races coming up.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up more.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, stretched alittle.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did a long run two days ago so wasn't really expecting spetactular results.

Event comments:

Good fun run on my 40th birthday. Was really hoping to break the 25 min mark. Came close, but set a new PR anyway. With some more training I know my next 5k will be below 25, which only means I get to shoot for 24 next.
