Good run. The weather was a little chilly, but not so bad. Warmed up quickly. This 5K probably is an easier course in terms of the terrain. There is only one hill and you run down it to start. Maybe the first 1/2 mile is down hill. The rest of the course is extremely flat. My first mile was pretty fast - around 12 minutes, and that was because of the downhill start. I felt pretty good though and I hadn't run a 5K in over a year, so gotta start somewhere.

1. Not wear my vest. I got hot and there was no where to put it.
2. Bring my own water bottle (fuel belt?) next time.

Walked around the post race area in search of propel and bananas!


Maybe shouldn't have worn my vest during the run b/c I got hot later. Wasted a minute or so at the water station.


Great atmosphere and the course is pretty easy. Good race for anyone to do whether you are an elite athlete or a beginner. It's pretty cool seeing all those green shirts running around Baltimore. The one thing that brings this down is the water station. There was one station, around the 1.5 mile mark. Maybe it was fine for the beginning of the pack. I mean there are 4000ish people in the race and I was in the last 1000, but still, there were like 5 people standing around one container of water pouring it into a cup and you had to stand in line. That really sucked, to have to come to a complete stop to grab water. I think that if you know this is a race that has such a spread in time, which it usually does looking at past results, there should be enough water containers that someone doesn't have to wait in line.
