What would you do differently?:

I would start further up in the pack. It took me what seemed like two minutes after the start of the race to get across the finish line, and then it wasn't until almost a mile intot eh race that I had enough room to really run.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Thsi was only my second 5 mile race. My biggest limiter was the crowd at the start. I am completely satisfied with how I ran.

Event comments:

This really is a great race for a family. My five year old had a great time at all the booths, including the Norristown Zoo, while she waited for me to get across the finish. I will run this race again.
