Picked Jen up at about 11 am. Had an english muffin with peanut butter and water on the way down to the race. Got lost and lamost ran out of gas. One would think there'd be more gas stations just off 1-95.
Event warmup:

Did some strtching inddors and just tried to keep warm.

Comments:

Run went well. It was my fastest 5K time since surgery last winter. Kind of dissappointeed in myeslef though, because I rode 3 hours the day before and my legs were al ittle short. I really want to figure out how fast I can go, but I guess its going to have a to wait a little while.
What would you do differently?:

Not put in a hard bike work out the day before. Otherwise everything went really well.
Post race
Warm down:

After finishing, I jogged back onto the course to meet up with Jenn and run with her to the finish. It was really cool to see her complete her first 5K.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The bike. And I still need to loose weight. I'm back on the not eating like a starving frat boy wagon, so hopefully I'll start seeing results again.

Event comments:

Good, small race.
