Half-Marathon official pace, 1:29:25 @ 6:49 per mile pace.

Went out way too fast.6:14, 6:20, 6:18, 6:30...

After trying to pull it back it was too late. My muscles were hurting from the LA and I was just pushing to maintain a respectable pace. Wasn't until after the Half-Marathon point that I really died and dropped two 8 min/miles to finish the run.
What would you do differently?:

Go out slower. Was shooting for a 6:52/mile average but totally didn't stay disciplined and let the excitement of the race carry me away.

Event comments:

Pretty well organized run. Route was marked at every mile and the marks seemed to be pretty accurate.

Will definitely do this again if it fits in my schedule.
