Comments: Started too fast. First mile in under 8 (7:40) - which is waay too much to have expected on an afternoon in July. Held it loosely together for mile 2 (8:26) but got hot on the final uphill and ended up crumping to a walk for a time. Mile 3 plus the last tenth posted at about 9:45. What would you do differently?: Need much better pacing plan for a 5k in the heat. Post race
Warm down: Water, gatorade, walking, stretching. Event comments: Friendly little 5k, no big frills but plenty of volunteers and even a water "stop" near milemarker 2. Fun. Hope to improve things for race #2 and #3 if my work schedule allows me to attend both. Last updated: 2005-07-13 12:00 AM

Arrived early enough to get the number and do a half mile warm up.
Fluid in, fluid out, and a few minute warm up at slow pace. Unfortunately, read the map wrong and ran the start instead of the finish, which would come back to bite me later.
