Run went better than expected. Was hoping to break 14:00, and I did pretty easily. Legs never felt to bad, but I didn't have the speed to go faster - but could have kept running.
What would you do differently?:

nothing. It was a great start

Ran well. Was hoping to break 15 min, and managed much better. I focsed on keeping up the cadence. again, I wasn't terribly out of breath, but I couldn't move the legs any faster. Probably about as best as I could do.
