Pre-race routine:

Not much - drank some water and electorlite mix on the way to race.
Event warmup:

Parked about 1/2 mile away with Rebecca, Dan and Angela and walked to starting line. We were early so did some light stretching and looked for Pooky since I had his bib and chip - he found us about 1 minute before the race began.

Comments:

First 5K I have participated in. I had been averaging about 12 minute miles during my training and finished this run a bit quicker than that so I'm pleased. Started training in January with this race as a target so I guess all is good since I made it. Had fun since Rebecca, Dan, Angela, and Pooky all did it as well.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.....this was my first race after starting C25K program.
Post race
Warm down:

Turned in chip, grabbed some water, saw Dan and Angela and waited at the finish line for Rebecca.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My weight and the short amount of time I have been running.

Event comments:

Had a great time with my wife and friends and it's nice to end the race right at the pier.
