Comments:

finshed 18 within my age group, ran with my brother for our 1st 5K race ever. It felt really good to get the 1st milestone in doing aa TRI completed.
What would you do differently?:

Work on my run volume more and practice opening up my stride to improve my running form. At the end of the race I opened up the stride and felt much better about running.
Post race
Warm down:

light jog, had some energy left could possible have gone 10K, drink tons of water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HR seemed high throughout the race, need to work on that and opening up stride. running with shorter choppy steps.( I think from too much tread mill work)

Event comments:

everything seem to flow smoothly, however, the lack of directions on where to park or where the starting line was made for temp confusion. They also ran out of my size t-shirt.
