Pre-race routine:

Got up 3 hours before the start; hit the snooze button twice. Took a shower, had a bowl of cereal and some fruit, drove to Brad's.
Event warmup:

Got my chip and did the usual stretching routine. Had a raspberry Hammer Gel before the start.

Comments:

Started further back in the pack than I should have. Spent the first half mile bobbing and weaving to get around the casual joggers. Kept passing people for a good 2 miles before I found the people at my pace. Felt like I was pushing just a little less than my limit. It was a very good pace for me.
What would you do differently?:

Start further towards the front. Could have easily shaved off a few seconds if I didn't have to avoid the traffic at the start.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a bottle of water and a Propel Fitness water. Did some light stretching and walked around the parking lot. Had a banana and two Fig Newtons.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Slow people starting in front of me.

Event comments:

I will always love the Freedom Run. This was the first race I carried a flag in (last year's race) and I'll always be back to run it from now on. It's the only 5K I'm willing to pay to run. Shirt designs were better last year with the "Let Freedom Run" slogan, but this year I got a Brooks CoolMax shirt so it's all good.
