I won't be as nice as the other people here (being the resident forum curmudgeon) but what I have to say may be of some help.

Get back up on the horse right away.
Enter another 5km. as soon as you can.
TRAIN regularly, however short, however long, it's all going towards your next race.
Before each training session say to yourself 10 times.
"IF IT IS TO BE, IT'S UP TO ME"

Next race day, remember just how dissapointed you were with your last race
Start your race and repeat over and over to yourself
"IF IT IS TO BE, IT'S UP TO ME"
