Pre-race routine:

This is my first official 5K. I hadn't trained at all for this! I ran cross country while in Junior High School...but the longest distance I've run since was 2 miles during high school basketball conditioning! I'm 24 years old now and am totally out of shape. I was lucky to finish without having a heart attack!
Event warmup:

Stretched a bit. There were a ton of people from my work participating in this event, including my sister...so I chatted with them a bit before heading towards the start.

Comments:

My sister smoked me...leaving me behind pretty early on. I've always been the athlete...playing all sorts of team sports. But she's got hte natural endurance. I hate her for it. (j/k)

What would you do differently?:

Train!
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some snacks...stretched out a bit and headed to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Zero training.

Event comments:

I ended up walking a bit during the race and chatting with David Hall...one of the big-wigs at our company. This conversation actually helped me later on in my career with obtaining a better position within the company. So, all in all, it was a very good day.
