Comments: Very congested in the first lap despite only taking 9 seconds to get to the starting mat. There were still hundreds of people in front of me. I suppose this is good as it held me back, but I wanted to get my HR up and then try to hold it in the low 150's but it took 1/2 mile before it got over 145. It opened up after that and I just tried to push for 50 breaths every time I started slowing. 5K's hurt and I pushed but did not go into the pain cave. Still a PR over the past few years in an open 5K. https://results.chronotrack.com/event/results/event/event-17663 What would you do differently?: Line up closer to the front and push harder earlier. This would force me to push harder later too but the time would be quicker by 20+ seconds.  Post race
Warm down: Drank a water and jogged slowly back to the truck after walking over to the starting line so I could redo some of the course. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not ready for 5K pain. Event comments: Very well supported. On time. Typical of HMF events. Outstanding drinks at the end-hot chocolate is heaven!

usual pre-5K race diet, with shower/BR/stretching/coffee and a Boost.
Total of ~500cals, 2-3 hours before then sip G2 up to the event.
pretty cold, so I did a 2 mile warmup with a few strides and one sustained effort on a hill for about 40 sec to really get my HR up
