Comments:

Didn't take in any water on the run. It was short enough and I knew from training I'd be ok. Plus the water here tastes like garbage and I didn't want that slowing me down.

I was about 30 seconds faster than my goal pace from the start, but decided to keep pushing. I slowed up on the last 2km, but did not drop below 7:57 min/mi.
What would you do differently?:

I didn't really have much of a pacing plan. Still trying to find out the limits of what I can sustain over certain distances. In the future though I'd like to stick more to a pace to avoid the slow down I had on the last 2.5km. I didn't come totally unglued and finished real strong though/
Post race
Warm down:

Walked for a few mintues after the finishing chute...drank water and ate a burrito

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I ran faster than I expected to, so I guess nothing

Event comments:

I just thank God it wasn't hot outside.
