Comments:

I was very conservative becasue I really didnt know what to expect, my goal was to have a conservative first 5k and try to have a faster 2nd 5k
What would you do differently?:

I would probably go out a little faster and keep up with the pack in fron of me

The course was what I expected its was tough on me becsue it was really the first ride I had outside due to the weather
What would you do differently?:

ride more outside prior to race and hit some hill training

Solid transiton, not a very long run to bike rack which is a plus
What would you do differently?:

solid run pushed as best as I could, the hills the second time around were a bit tough.

not pushing harder in the first 5k and lack of hill training
