Pre-race routine:

Got to the race waaaay early in fear I wouldn't find parking. Wrong. Lesson learned. In the meantime, I hydrated, stretched, and was entertained by the walking hot sauce mascots for Taco Bell.
Event warmup:

Made me and anth0424 do some warm-up planks and stretches. He may be an age-group placer, but damnit, I can hold a plank longer than he can. :)

Comments:

I did the run untimed, but had my chronometer on. Clocked at 28:35.
What would you do differently?:

Run it timed, but set a PR from my first/last 5K in 2009, which I ran in around 30:45 or something like that.
Post race
Warm down:

Water, and beer. Lots of beer. Before noon.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The weather was humid, and I sweated more than average. But my effort was race pace, so that makes sense.

Performance: Good
I ran the first mile pretty fast, but i think the mile markers were off. The first mile felt short, and the second felt long.
Course: Circled around the capital/UT from the Bob Bullock, down the drag, through San Jac, then back to Bob Bullock. The course was apparently hilly for a 5K and there were two inclines, but the grade wasn't too high. I feel like my first 5K felt like it had more of an incline, but I could be wrong.
Keeping cool Below average Drinking Just right
