Comments:

Ran with my son so our goal was to finish. Felt good at start, first mile in 8:00. Very crowded at the start so it felt slow as we had to weave in and out of traffic.
Around the 1.5/2 Mile mark we got passed by a boy in my son's age group so he went after him while I kept my pace.
No other mile markers or times on the course so I don't know what my pace was for miles 2 & 3 although I know I slowed down once my son pulled away.
Felt good for first race of year. BY the way he finished one minute ahead of me.
What would you do differently?:

No much
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around finish area. Had some snacks and headed home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably the 27 Mile bike ride on Saturday but it was such a beautiful day I just had to do it!!!!!!!
