Started out fast, figured it out after about mile 2, and set a 10/min mile pace all the way to mile 10. The climb into Myers Park hurt, and dropped to a 11/min mile. Was able to make it up on the last two miles of the event, finished really strong.
Course:	Course was great, a bit of a climb to the end, but great course.
Keeping cool	Good	Drinking	Just right
