Started with the 1:45 pace group. Hard run but kept up with group until about mile 10. then started to slow down - right calf was about to cramp up. ate 2nd GU at mile 6, another at mile 9 or 10. Went on my own after mile 10.
What would you do differently?:

try to stay with pace group as long as i can - definitely helped me run faster
