Pre-race routine:

Scott was announcing this race so we had to be there VERY early. The race started at 9am and we arrived at 6:30am so he could set up the announcing tent. Had two cups ooffee and bowl of cereal on the drive over to the race site.
Event warmup:

I sat in the Jeep until 8am trying to stay warm, then got out and ran a mile to warm up.

Comments:

This was a challenging course for me since I am not used to running hills often. I am sure the Raleigh people thought nothing of it but being from 'flat' Wilmington I thought it was tough. My legs felt a bit heavy at the start!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing...it went as well as I could have hoped!
Post race
Warm down:

After the race, I decided to get in a few more miles. Scott had to finish up announcing which meant I had to wait until after the awards so I decided to take advantage of the hills and do a few more miles. I ran an additional 4.5-ish. I enjoyed running somewhere new!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The hills

Event comments:

I ended up 2nd female overall which I was happy with! The winning gal ran it in 18:41! Wow!

Fun 5km that was for a great cause! Will definately do it again next year if I get the opportunity!

Performance: Good
Course: The course was a hilly out and back. It started on an incline and then the hills were rolling throughout. The turn around was at the hill of the biggest hill which meant after rounding the cone we were faced with a hill!
