Comments:

Let the excitement of the start get me going too fast. Felt OK, but when I finished my first time up the hill on Lancaster Ave & saw a 6:08 mile I knew I had started too fast. Hung on the second time up the hill and then strugled home even though that was mostly downhill.
What would you do differently?:

Start out slower.

Warm down:

Got some water & some food--nice spread

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor pacing and not much speed work

Event comments:

Nice 5k--a bit more challenging than I expected but still nice. Good refreshment set-up post race--even had massages available!
