Comments:

I hate 5k's. I always feel like I am going to die. Really felt my blood pressure rise into my head cause it was so hot. I really could have used another water stop. I did maintain a good cadence and I liked the speed, but just wished I could be faster.
What would you do differently?:

This was my first night race. I would eat better in the afternoon and drink more before the race. I will also have to try to do a warm up run before a race to see how that feels,

Warm down:

Stretched a little. Pizza and beer,

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat.

Event comments:

Just could have used one more water station.
