Comments:

Got out quick and started fading as the race went on. Ran miles from 6:09-7:03. Most were solid around 6:40.
What would you do differently?:

Ran as tough as I could. Took the first 5k out under 20. Had to run ballsy and it bit me in the ass a little bit. Racing faster people means taking bigger risks. Overall good run though.
