Comments:

Alot of people were running the 5k as a fun run, so the start got very bogged down with people, had a hard time getting into a run. My legs were pretty fatigued from the 10k, but the race seemed to go by very quickly. 2 people stopped dead, not even walking at the finish line in front of me, so took a few additional seconds to cross the sensors really irritating
What would you do differently?:

They allowed the people running the trifecta to get in the front of the pack at the starting line and next time I will make sure to take advantage of this. I'm not that fast so didn't want to impede the faster runners, but ended up with alot of very slow people in front of me impeding me.
