Comments:

First two miles were really good - right on 8 min. mile pace, Sam got a cramp so we walked a little and ran slower to finish, decent run for a recovery week, for sure!
What would you do differently?:

Not much. This was fine for the goals of the day.
Post race
Warm down:

walked for a while and drank a bottle of water

Taking a walk break in the last mile

Event comments:

This was a really big, excellent 5K with above average production including beer and pizza after the race, lots of music, celebration, and a nice long sleeved T shirt. They did a really great job and I would highly recommend this race.
