Comments:

7:41 first mile which is a little quick, but it felt pretty good. I actually though my pace was a lot slower compared to everyone else - a lot of good runners out there, I guess. Last mile seemed light an eternity but just kept my pace
What would you do differently?:

There were a couple runners that past me around the 2 1/2 mile mark - felt I could have tagged along, but chose to lay back - wish I would have pushed it - one of the runners ran a sub 24 min., and the other finished at 24:04 - pretty confident I can do that
Post race
Warm down:

2 bottled water - cheered home the remaining runners - stretch/walk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

confidence
