Comments:

This was my first running race ever. I hadn't even run 3 miles before I ran the race - I think my longest run had been 2.5. I started out way too fast with the whole group. I slowed down in the middle. After about 2 miles I started to realize I had had too much water and started to feel a little sick. I slowed down again but never stopped running. I saw Mimi cheering for me coming to the last 1/4 mile or so and tried to speed up a little bit. I was very surprised to see my time since I had no idea if I could even run the whole thing!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - I was so happy to be running my first 5K

Warm down:

Sat around with Mimi and some other people we met and waited for her to get her hardware.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training.
