Comments:

Good run. Was trying to go with the steady pace idea for this race which is not my normal strategy. Of course the adrenaline must have gotten to me and I ran a 6:12 1st mile, so I reverted back to my usual of go out hard and hang on as long as you can. My goal was sub-20, which I did with aching quads, but was still able to finish strong.
Splits:6:12, 6:32, 6:35 and last .1 was at :37.
What would you do differently?:

I guess try the steady pace, negative split philosophy, I'm just so worried that I won't pace it right and not run the fastest race possible.

Event comments:

Low budget race, but for only $5 you can;t beat it. Water and watermelon at the finish. Awesome course. I love running around the lake!
