Comments:

I started out too fast, I think. I was at at a 6 minute pace for awhile. I finshed mile 1 in 7:32 - and then we had an overpass to do - twice. The turnaround was almost literally at the bottom of the pass. It hurt me, but that is a poor excuse for my performance. My overall pace is apparently 830.
What would you do differently?:

I should not have walked like I did. I think my running has fallen off because I've started doing more distance training which is slower, and I tend to walk some of it. I have lost my 5K all out blast and I need to get it back or switch to 10 Ks
Post race
Warm down:

Just hung out in the gym watching the little kids do basketball drills.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My lower leg muscles got tight early. I don't know why. Probably inadequate training.

Event comments:

Not many folks participated. I was not a fan of the overpass being right in front of the turn. I think they can move the start line to either make it so the turn is at the top of the pass, or that there is some flat before you have to turn around. I would run this race again though, with the same format.
