I was hoping to have a really great time today, which would have been sub 27 for me. I just didn't get it done. I think the main factor was the weather, it was 60 degrees yesterday and today it was 30 and snowing. I tend to be slower when its that cold. Also, I started about mid pack and there was a lot of slow traffic in front of me so I didn't feel like I got in a good pace until about 1 mile in. The other thing is I haven't ran a 5k race for quite a while and I think I held back too much. I should have pushed the third mile harder than I didn. This was just a so-so race for me.

Biggest thing would be to have pushed the pace harder from the get go instead of just hanging out and waiting for things to clear up.

Trust me with as cold as it was, warm down was not a problem.


Gravity. Not pushing the pace as hard as I should have


This is a huge race with a separate womens and mens race so like over 3500 people in total. It was well run with plenty of volunteers. They also gave out really great long sleeved t-shirts.
