Pre-race routine:

This was my first race of any kind as an adult, so I was king of winging it. I ate two pieces of toast with pb about 90 mins before the race and drank some water.

Event warmup:

Stretched bit.

Run

35m 44s

Comments:

I am a slow runner to start with, and my ITBS flare up certainly did not help. It was a nice run and an absolutely gorgeous morning, though. And to be honest, I was happy to finish, as I'd never run 5k before.

What would you do differently?:

Take advil before the race. Wear short rather than wind pants.

Post race

Warm down:

Stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My general running ability, or lack thereof. I was also *very* warm by the end, and my knee hurt bad enough that I had to limp-run the last half mile or so.

Event comments:

A great first race event. A water station along the course would've been nice though.

Course:	Nice course through neighborhoods that started and ended at the high school. It was great having the first half as a downhill (was making great time! ha ha), but then of course the entire second half was uphill, and it was quite a hill.
