Comments:

my first 5k ever!! just a few weeks ago i was convinced i'd come in last but i even had a couple of ppl behind me and was over 5 minutes faster than the ones coming in last. considering that i've just started running not too long ago and that i couldn't train from like january till march i think i did pretty good :)
What would you do differently?:

keep cool before the race cuz it's really not as bad as you might think
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

the weather... it was way too hot for this time of the year and the sun was burning down on the course... almost no shade... plus the lack of training due to an injury...

Event comments:

nice race but they should have changed the times like two weeks ago when they heard it would be THAT warm... my race started at 1:15pm, the 10k at 2pm and the elite 10k race at 4pm... lots of people passed out during the 5 and 10k race cuz of the heat... plus they really need more drinking stations...
