Comments:

First mile was fast, thought I might be able to hold onto that pace for a while, but with the second mile being more uphill, slowed somewhat. Held the pace 7:10 for the rest of the race.

What would you do differently?:

Dug a little deeper to maintain a pace around 6:45.

Post race

Warm down:

Water, walked.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Held back a little. Didn't want to re-injure my hip.

Event comments:

This is one of the best 5Ks in North Carolina. It always attracts many top athletes. The winning time was 14:17.
