Pre-race routine:

Wake up and get my two non-morning guys dressed and loaded in the car. Eat something on the way, find a parking place.
Event warmup:

Walk about 3/4 mile to the start. Pee. Find a place in the crowds. (3500 +/- racers, and Orlando record). Listen to DS whine (he's 5). Look for my 2 girlfriends.

Comments:

It was cold for us, but was great for running, and we had a good time. Only bananas and water, the Panera nearby was closed :-(
What would you do differently?:

Well, I am eager to try a 5K to hit 30 minutes or under right now...

Warm down:

Listened to DS whine some more. Not too much for a 5yr old who just ran 5K tho', piggy backed him to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Family time - wouldn't trade it for the world. And the crowds - especially the walkers.

Performance: Good
Walked about 1/4 mile with DS and DH to help block DS from getting trampled. Once it thinned a bit, they told me to take off. Ran off and passed a lot of people. Had a lot of people pass me. Was ok with 1 mile time. Was amazed at 2 mile time, hung on for 3 mile time and to finish. Still can't quite believe I ran that fast. Questioned being ready for half marathon next week.
Course: The course started and finished where the half marathon will next week, and ran on some of the same streets. Quite a lot of it was on brick streets.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right

You will hit sub 30 soon...I know your hard work will pay off! Crowded races are hard to hit your best...but I see lots of improvement!

Congrats!

Hey Ann,

Great race!  I think that you would have easily broken 30 minutes without the walk at the beginning.  A 5k for a 5 year old is quite an achievement.  It's fun doing a race with the family.  Congratulations.
