Comments:

first standalone 5k in years. coming off a running injury (right knee, plantar fasciitis) so not sure what to expect. short run races are painful!
What would you do differently?:

i wore a cool weather top - underarmour sweater that got me too warm. i also wore a thin long sleeve cowtown shirt on top, along with tights, gloves and my lululemon head/ear wrap. should have worn something lighter
Post race
Warm down:

hot chocolate, wore my north face jacket to keep warm

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need to get my kick back. probably a little too warm in terms of attire

Event comments:

good event organized by GetRacing. lots of good post race snacks and awards.
