I don't do many 5k's but I have raced mountain bikes for years. Our rule of thumb is the shorter the race, the longer the warm up.

Lots of truth there. I don't feel "warmed up" until a good half hour into a ride. Which is fine if you're just riding to train, but if you were really racing, you'd want to be good to go at the start and not a half hour into it. Especially for a short race.
