Laps:
1st mile: 5:58
2nd mile: 6:27
Arrival (last 1.1 mile): 7:14
Total: 19:39

I ran pretty hard the 1st mile, being 3rd as I passed the 1st mile.
Then I controlled the race for the 2nd mile.
I caught up with the 2nd male.
Then I got passed by both a male and a female.
I was right behind them waiting for the last sprint.
In the lat 200m, I started sprinting and I passed both of them.
It was a great pleasure to pass them as I still had enough juice for it.

I was happy to have controlled my race and be under 20:00, which was my target.
I was also of course happy to be on the podium :)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really.
