Comments:

The run felt great. It was a little log jammed even up in corral A for the first mile. After 3 miles I got caught up from a slow 6:47 first mile. I then settled into about a 6:29 pace until after exiting the track. Over the last 4 to 5 miles I picked up the pace quite a bit and dropped the hammer. I negative split by 32 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretch.

Event comments:

This continues to be my favorite race every year! I finished better by 100 spots this year! Hopefully I can improve next year!
