Pre-race routine:

Ate half a Milk Chocolate Brownie Powerbar on my way down to the race. Trying new things with nutrition since its been a work in progress for me. Really liked the Powerbar and my stomach seemed to handle it well also. Paired it with some Gatorade.
Event warmup:

Not much time to warm-up. Did a little stretching and was ready to go.

Comments:

Started out a little too fast, but got my pace until control after about a mile and a half. Just tried to focus on the hills and relax a bit on the downhills but not too much that I let up on the pace. Between 3 and 4 was the toughest stretch and ended up being my slowest mile. Mile 4-5 was mostly downhill with an uphill before the finish. I got passed a bit at the beginning when I was trying to get my breathing and pace under control, but after the turn around about 1.5 miles, I was only passed by one person.

Being this is my first 5 mile race, its a PR. That's four this year, 5K, 5 miler, 10 miler, 1/2 marathon.
What would you do differently?:

Probably start out a little slower but it didn't hurt me too much this time.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked down to the turn to the finish to encourage the other runners. Drank some water. Talked to my buddy who finished a few minutes before me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Maybe familiarity with the course. Next time I'll know better how to attack it.
