Comments:

Started out strong. Ran with Ryan and kept my HR at 170 the first two miles. Maintained a sub 8 min mile. The third mile I started to fade and instead of lowering my pace I allowed my HR to creep up. I sent Ryan off on his own as he obviously had some kick left. He finished 4th.
What would you do differently?:

The hr was too high. I should have kept it lower like high 160's. I felt pretty bad afterwards.
