Good run. Settled in at under 1 km in. Didn't walk AT ALL! Last km home was overtaken by a woman in my age group. Didn't want her to pass me to caught up and we started chatted and kept running at a good pace. Another woman in our age group passed up. 1st woman announced "that's not supposed to happen". After a min I said "lets gang up on her". 1st woman told me to go for it. I caught up to her and race her home.
What would you do differently?:

Run fitness is coming together.
Post race

nothing. Went wakeboarding in the afternoon.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Went out too slow in the swim but was heeding advice of cardiologist.
Faster time o/all than last year.
