Comments:

It was hot and it was humid. My main goal was to ensure I stayed cool enough and paced myself for the run.

Mile 1 - was 8:30 pace but it felt like 9 to me.
Mile 2 - was 9:15 pace but it felt like 9 to me go figure. I was hot now.
Mile 3-5 were all at 9:30 pace.

Wind made a lot of difference keeping cool. In some spots where there was no wind, I had to bring down the pace a bit.

A ton of folks were stopping to walk in the latter stages so I fealt pretty good at how I was able to keep just cool enough to keep going.

What would you do differently?:

Go slower mile 1. Of course it seems pretty easy, dummy! Its the first mile!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked over to get a bottle of water. Drank it while walking around. After 5 minutes - stretched. Waited for family to complete the 5k walk. Daughter got 3rd place in age group - Nice!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Legs have been feeling a bit pounded, but I think I'd need more overall aerobic conditioning to go faster in these conditions.

Event comments:

I'd have liked 3 drink stations rather than 2, but it was a fun event. A lot of folks.

The little kid run at the end was cool too.
