Pre-race routine:

This was a last minute decision. I decided since I was in town and it was close, I might as well race. I was planning on running this morning anyway. Got up on time and had a diet mountain dew on the drive over.
Event warmup:

Ran about 5 minutes easy before the race.
Run
  • 31m 39s
  • 3.18 miles
  • 09m 57s  min/mile
Comments:

Downhill start; uphill finish. Ran a good race. The uphill sprint was tough at the end. Race was slightly shorter than reported - 3.1 exactly for a 10:13 pace by my garmin.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Was happy with this one.
Post race
Warm down:

A hot dog and gatorade. No beer at the Catholic School. You'd have thought they were Baptists.

Event comments:

Another 5K = another PR! Took 40 seconds off my time in February. Super stoked with my progress.

Nice run David!
Last minute can be quite un-stressful sometimes... I usually just got into it with a "screw it", it is what it is, 
attitude, Ya know.
