Up at 5:30AM for 8:30AM start. Two waffles, small OJ. 5K race at Byers Field in Parma.

NO timing chip at this race. Lots (30+) door prizes given out before awards. It appeared that door prizes given to pre-registered runners only. I did not pre-register. Usual warmup near starting line. Lined up as close as possible to starting line. First mile of course slight downhill. Last mile of race slight uphill. Mile split times increased as race went on; faded because of heat & course. I was plenty warm when I hit the finish line. Tough race for me since this is the first 5K that I have run since Dec of 2011. Left hamstring bothered me during the race; but did not stop me.

Fueling: One RCS and one Mito before leaving home for race. Carried 10oz Heed during race.
