Comments:

This was a family friendly course. For many of the participants, it seemed to be their first 5K. Since I place myself near the back of the pack (I am a penquin!), I had a hard time getting out of the gate. It was hard to pass on the left as many of the children and walkers were up front and stayed to the left, Many of the younger participants sprinted the first mile or so. It was like a Civil War battle as we neared the mile marker. Runners (who sprinted and did not pace themselves) were bent over, out of breath, and many were vomiting... Oh' the humanity :-) The pack seemed to open up after that point! This is a nice flat course that is fast.
