Comments:

Since this was my first 5K ever, I'm not sure that I pushed hard enough. Of course, getting there so late that I had to sprint to the start line just to start two and a half minutes after everyone else didn't help.

What would you do differently?:

Get to the race-site more than five minutes before the start of the race.

Warm down:

Walked back to get my clothes that I had left at the start line.

Event comments:

Good race, well-organized, lots of activities. I didn't really take advantage of any of them, though.

I was really irritated that I got to the race so late and started with no warm-up or stretching and out of breath with my heart already racing. But after a while I realized that my time really wouldn't have been much different and I made my goal of running it under 25 minutes.
