Comments:

The start was kinda crappy. Not nearly enough space for everyone to get going. I probably could have knocked a good few seconds off my time but I couldn't get out of the pack. This is my first "official" race and I couldn't be more pleased with my time. My goal was to beat 24 mins so I'm pretty happy! All in all, a fun experience and good to know that the training is starting to pay off.
What would you do differently?:

Get further up front in the start. Other than that, not much.

Warm down:

Stumble around trying to catch my breath whilst chugging powerade. Followed by a light stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

See above.

Event comments:

Couldn't give it a 5 because its the only one I've done.
