Comments:

I went out too fast trying to get around a lot of the slower runner and walkers. The first mile was around 8 and I couldn't sustain that pace. Because I went out too fast, I crashed by the time mile three hit. Overall though, it was a decent run.
What would you do differently?:

Better pacing and more training.
Post race
Warm down:

Stood around talking to co-workers

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training (although I purposely took two weeks off to allow my shins to recover from broad street)

Event comments:

Good race and I'll be back next year to set a new PR (which I could have done had the first mile been a little slower).
