Comments:

Slowed down at 3.5-4.5km to 11km/h. Missed Natalia for motivation. She got sick and could not run :-(
What would you do differently?:

Perhaps arrive earlier and warm up more. Hard with such a huge crowd (4,000+ people for 5km and 10km run together)
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did not train for this short distance, so it felt more like a warmup instead.

Event comments:

Great family event with many young participants.
