Comments:

Didn't look at the Garmin. Just wanted to see what I could do based on RPE. Ended up with increasing splits. Had a side cramp that lasted almost the entire last mile. Kept running, but it did slow me down.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I will have a better idea of pacing. Need to start out a bit slower.
Post race
Warm down:

More visiting, talking to friends and a little jog back to the car to put on some warmer clothes before the awards ceremony. If the age groups would have been smaller (10 year groups) I would have taken 3rd.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The side stitch, but that's just from pushing beyond my ability level. Rawrrrrrr!

Excellent!!! A long way under 30 minutes now, this year's going to be a great running year for you, I found the training I did for my first HM made a big difference to my speed at shorter distances.

Now lets see if you can do a 26min 5k????!
