Comments:

I felt like I went out too fast up the hills but I was able to pace myself about half way through by getting behind a guy and not letting myself pass him. This was my fastest 5k ever so I was very, very happy!!!
What would you do differently?:

Wear my fuel belt for more hydration.

Warm down:

Holy cow!! I was drenched in sweat!!! I walked around, stretched, drank water and ate half a nanner! Even at 7am it was sooooper hot!!!!

Event comments:

The race only had two water stations which for the heat I did not think was enough. It was a very small race but organized well and lots of fun. The parade after was very nice! :)
