Pre-race routine:

Ate a banana and a bagel and drove to the event.
Event warmup:

It was pretty cold and windy so my warm-up consisted of a short jog to the start line. Shouldve warmed up a bit more, but it was cold and I really just wanted to get started!

Comments:

Good run, but according to my Garmin the course was about .15 mile long. My official time was 21:46 (7:00/mi) but my Garmin paced me at a 6:43/mi pace overall. The 'offical' time is still a new PB for me and an happy with the results.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing besides train more! Would love to see a sub-20 minute 5k someday.
Post race
Warm down:

Started to snow at the end, so I did some minor stretching, grabbed some food, and sat in the car until the award ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The cold air was tough on the lungs. This was my first time running in such cold temps and more experience doing this might help.

Event comments:

Well organized. Times aren't made available until weeks later on the website, which is kind of a let down. Again, the course seemed a bit long but nothing too big.
