Awesome run. I feel like I could have done better though.
What would you do differently?:

I missed a lot of hydration in the days before. I wasn't drinking enough water and didn't really pay attention to my diet either. It is after all only a 5k. It was a chance to get out and run some trails on a Sat.

Event comments:

Really a great event. The 5k course is fantastic except for the two laps around the baseball field to finish. I know they are going to fix this though. The Reservoir lake trails are awesome. Nice and clean, packed sand or dirt. Some hills and incline, but overall not too hilly. I will recommend that they have coffee or hot cocoa to drink as it was chilly and we did a lot of standing around. My chief complaint is after the finish. We waited an hour for the results and didn't get any. My group decided to leave because we had been waiting so long. There were no guarantees about when, where, or if they would be posted. The main thing though is the course. It makes up for the ending. It just kinda kills the buzz after you finish.
