Run
Comments: Not much to say really. Was using this race to see where I was in terms of 5k speed. Took the first mile out at a comfortable pace and tried to build from there. Once you climb up the pedestrian bridge you have about a 1/4 mile to go. I was feeling really good at this point so I went as hard as I could for that last 1/4 mile. What would you do differently?: Go harder in the first mile, begin my kick a little earlier. Post race
Warm down: Walked around a little bit. Once my wife finished, we grabbed some bagels and coffee and then walked around the rest of zoo. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really. I had quite a bit left in the tank at the end of the run so I definately could have pushed harder. Its early in the season and I am within 9 seconds of my PR so I'll take it. Event comments: Good race except it takes them for ever to post results (over two hours this year). This event is getting to big for manual timing. Last updated: 2007-04-21 12:00 AM

Got up, had some breakfast and headed to the zoo. Once we got registered, walked around the zoo a bit (some of the animals are a lot more active in the morning then when they are during official zoo hours).
Did some easy jogging and light stretching. Tried to stay loose while waiting for the delayed start.
