Pre-race routine:

i slept in until 6am, got up, and had a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, pp, and pecans. i sat around until 8am and then walked up to church to pick up my number and my t-shirt. Then i wandered back home to change into my running garb.
Event warmup:

i jogged back to church and then stretched out a bit.

  • 10m 41s  min/mile
Comments:

i found a woman who seemed to be going a good pace and shadowed her to the one mile marker. We ended up talking, and we ran together to the water stop just shy of the two mile point. i walked to drink my water and to get rid of a side stitch. The whole rest of the way, i kept my distance from her.
What would you do differently?:

Perhaps not go out so quickly, but overall i'm very pleased with the race. It was my first 5k, and i finished it hard, and i ran it faster than i thought i could. How can i complain?

Warm down:

i, um, stood around and drank some Propel. Not a quality cool down.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being me. :)

Event comments:

They had door prizes afterward, the top three finishers in each age group got ribbons, the top three males and the top three females got medals. Not bad for a church run.
