Comments:

temp pace, legs felt good, ab cramps when trying to sprint reminded me I am no longer in race shape, but my base training is going very well, to allow me to hold 8 min pace so easily.
What would you do differently?:

Used new MP3 player. Battery went dead at 6 miles. I carried extra, but was unable to stop and change it, so I would test all equipment prior to race day.
Post race
Warm down:

walk and stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was a training event, not an all out race.

Event comments:

Course cannot handle number of participants. Concrete hurts after a while.
