Comments:

Really good race. Went out really fast and only fought crowds for the first 1/2 mile. Saw Russ about 2 miles in and paced him until mile 5 and then passed him. Passed the 5K timer at 19:20. After mile 4 I ran hard until I fatigued and then dropped to a 7:00 pace until I caught my breath and then sped up again. Did this 4 times. Didn't finish as strong as I'd like, but still PR'd and finished in the top 500. Very pleased.
What would you do differently?:

Interval training for a 10K.
Post race
Warm down:

2 bottles of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cardio...just the way I like it.
