Comments:

The day before the race I pulled my left hamstring and I wasn't sure if was able to run or not. I started slowly, limping for the first 2km and only got into my normal pace after 4 kms. I slowly pick-ed up the pace and got to the 10km mark in 57 minutes. Struggled between km 13-18, the longest kms ever, and picked-up the pace again in the last 3km.
What would you do differently?:

Avoid injuries, in general, and especially before races!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked to the parking lot, about 1 km.
