Comments:

Started off closer to the front than I usually do. Got stuck behind a few people the first half mile which kept my pace in check for a little while. Once the crowd cleared up a bit I started passing quite a few people which I hardly ever do. Mile 2 at 8:35 is a personal record :)
After mile 2 a few of the people I passed started passing me again but I did end up passing more people than passed me. Still had enough in me for a strong sprint to the end. Shattered my PR by 2:17
What would you do differently?:

nothing PR by over 2 minutes :)
