1st ever 5k. I paced poorly, going too fast for the 1st mile, recovering on the 2nd, but finished well.

Post race

Warm down:

2 mile run

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of familiarity with distance

Event comments:

Extremely well organized race. Awards go 20% deep in each age group. Chip timing with results and highlight photos posted to the web that same day! It's a "local" race but big (>1000 runners between 5k and 10k).
