Comments:

Toughest run I have had because both calves cramped 200 ft into the race. I almost quit but thought I could not do that on a 5K. When I reached the mile marker and was at about 16:45, I felt a little better as I figured I would be in over an hour. Managed to run a bit the second half of the race but really not much faster.
What would you do differently?:

Need some therapy for sure. Did some work on the foam roller and fitness ball that evening and then this morning. Probably will visit my chiro and maybe a massage therapist.
