Felt good coming off the bike. Overall, a pretty good run for me. My pace slowed from 7:30s for the first 5K to 7:50s over th last 5. To be expected I guess, but I was hoping to run a 46 minute 10k
What would you do differently?:

I don't think I had a whole lot left in the tank to do much better on the run
Post race
Event comments:

This was a very well organized race, especially considering there were over 1700 racers. I felt bad for the out of towners who stayed near the course because Millington, TN is not a very appealing place. Having lived in Memphis in the past, local knowledge was a good thing to have on my side.
