Maintained a fairly consistent 8:30/mile pace for the first five miles. Fell off this a little bit between miles 5 and 6. Hamstrings got very sore during the last mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and did some stretching. Ate a some Cliff Bars and bannans.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was my first 10k ever, and I think it went very well. To get better in the future, need to go on more long runs and do some more speed work.

Event comments:

Overall a very good race. Would definately try to do this one again.
