Comments:

Started off with my desired pace for first two miles, then dropped off it a bit. My goal pace was 8:27 miles to carry me thru a sub one-hour finish. My mind and body still wants me to slow down to carry me thru more miles.
What would you do differently?:

Train a little better for a 7-mile race, so can better judge a pace to keep for a goal time. But, overall happy with a PR in this race
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched, had a couple waters and clam chowder (served to everyone at finish line).

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My mind telling me to slow down the pace.

Event comments:

A very nice course to run.
