Comments:

I kept a good pace for the first two miles but ran out of gas again before my last 1/2 mile. Weather was muggy and light rain. It was hard to breath but the roads were not slick.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on keeping a steady pace thru 3 miles and have enough for a push at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

walked for about 3/4 mile. Then later my legs felt tight so I went for a 2 mile easy run with Alan.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

weather wasn't the greatest but I just need more practice running 5k's

Event comments:

Well I have one 5k left to see if I can get that time under 21 minutes. I will give it everything I can and see what happens.
