Comments:

Went out fast for first couple of KM thought that I might have gone to hard and blow up later on the race. But just kept on pace kept HR in the 170 range which seems to be close to threshold for me. 175 seems to make me fairly winded.
What would you do differently?:

Not much I might have been bale to kick a bit more for the last KM but overall very happy. Knocked 10:31 off last years race so pumped about performance.
Post race
