Comments:

Definitely went out strong -- a little too strong, but held on to a fast group for the first ~15-20 minutes until I started to get some cramps in my calf, then I got dropped by the pack and started to get passed as I struggled with my calf.
What would you do differently?:

Probably start off a little easier,
