Comments:

Went out too quickly for the first mile and I had to recover during the 2nd and third which gave me an uneven pace. I could of went alot harder if I did not go out as harder.
What would you do differently?:

Start out alittle slow and not do a 5:55 first mile.

Event comments:

Very competitive first race of the season. I thought that I did fairly well with putting on 15 lbs in the off season. I was glad to see a good turnout of such a nice day
