Comments: I lined up about half way back--which was a mistake. Once the race started, I ended up doing a lot of side to side and dodging kids and I did not feel like I hit my stride until about the one mile mark. I did not feel like I had the mental toughness today--but head it together getting to mile 2.5. I was really starting to suffer about until mile three when I turned the corner and saw the finish. I sprinted to the end and crossed the line. I was hoping to be close to 22:00--but it was much slower. I need to do a couple more 5Ks to get better at this race distance. What would you do differently?: I lined up too far in the back. I spent most of the first mile passing people. Stoopid rookie mistake. Post race
Warm down: I walked around and started to get dry heaves. Not good! I saw a young man yacking and I gave him my water. He needed it more than me. Also, I saw a young family with a boy who ran the race and a girl who did not (probably 3 or 4). I let them have my race t-shirt. My wife would probably kill me if I brought home another race shirt. What limited your ability to perform faster: It has been smoking hot for the last three days. My legs felt pretty shelled after the run. Event comments: Great local race. Well supported. Started on time. Nice race director team. Great job! Only issue that I had was that the 10K starts 10 minutes before the 5K. By the first mile I started to catch 10K participants. A couple of times, it was diffcult to pass--but that's me! Last updated: 2011-07-04 12:00 AM

Got up and ate breakfast and had coffee. Drank water on the way down to the race.
Warmed up with a mile + 4 strides. Then poked around for about 15 minutes before the race. I saw my former TNT asst coach and his wife who was our manager before the race. They have the cutest kid.
