OK .. you getting the general idea of things and your understanding seems to be high
the only need is to replicate your training in races
and this will come if you keep your racing natural and according to the same effort you put in during training.
for your next test I recommend you do it without the heart rate monitor and simply run the 5k with your watch running, without looking at your watch push yourself according to the pain threshold you are familiar with during training
the results follow .. you have to overcome expectation and fear of failure with the self confidence to test yourself to a level of effort achieved in training, the 2000m session should make racing a joy
you have to develop your game mind on those days and this certainly takes learning, so use the 5k to practise
Cheers
