Comments:

This was a very nice run with one exception, there were children on the course that were not entered in the race and they were running all around and in front of the runners and thern stopping causing the runners to stop and / or avoid them. It was somewhat distracting.
What would you do differently?:

Train more for the run.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, cooled off and drank gatorade. Got a massage.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of time spent training for the run. I should have devoted more time to running and less on the swim and bike.

Event comments:

This was a fun runa dn I will do it again next year. This will give me some base numbers to work with for the tri in May. Going to run another 5K next weekend, this will be a flatter course, we'll see if I make up any time.
