Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5 am. Took a long shower and decided what to wear. It was chilly this morning but still opted to wear tights and dedicide at the race to wear them or not,

Food: GU, PB on WW, and Accelerade. Lots of water. Too much maybe
Event warmup:

Stretched quite a bit before the race, kept warm in the car b/c we got there so early.

Comments:

It was a good run. At times I think I slowed down to help pace myself but in reality it probably wasn't neccesary. I could have run faster but I think this races was more nerves. Its been awhile since my last 5K. All in all it was good.

I thought I would be a lot better on the flat sections. Given that I have no choice but to train oh hills b/c of my house. I did well on the hill and soared past quite a few people on the downhill
What would you do differently?:

Run harder, faster, and take off the jacket even though it was cold.

Don't take GU unless u know there is a water station close
Post race
Warm down:

grabin food, no real cooldown, just walked around a little

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think the wory of hurting myself or reaggrivating the shinsplints, I really had nothing to worry about,



Event comments:

I did it my 1st 5K of the year and 1st in a long time. I think I got the bugm I want to do another one soon.

Congrats on a great race.  I'm sure you will be posting lots of race reports soon.  It should be warm enough up there to do some tris soon.  Take care and train hard _SMO
