nothing :(
I watched Gavin run in his 50 yd dash.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat and humidity were brutal. I was very disappointed that I didn't beat my time in the Mansfield 5k.

Event comments:

They started the race about 10 minutes late but the course was clearly marked and there were plenty of people along the way to cheer us on.
