Comments:

Awesome, somewhat challenging course. 1 decent hill, and the loop around the lake is rolling. It's a not a flat course, but very fun and not too challenging. I chased some people that are a little faster than me, which helped keep me focused. It's always a great day when you break a record. Next step is sub-18, but that will have to wait until the spring :) Splits: 1 mile: 5:42, 2 mile 5:51, 3.1 mile: 6:33
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, this time. Just get faster for next time.
Post race
Warm down:

2 mile run, stretchiing.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Today was a peak performance. Smashed my previous 5k PR by 34 seconds!!

Event comments:

No water stops on this course, but I didn't really even notice. With the cooler temperature it wasn't really a factor. It probably would have slowed me down more than helped me.
NEW PR!!!!
