Comments:

Felt very good from start to finish. Was surprised by my times so I dialed it down a bit in mile three. Misjudged the finish and didn't have the time to catch two people in front of me. Needed about another 100 yards but the finish line popped up from around the trees and I did have enough time to kick.
What would you do differently?:

Push mile 3 more.

Banana, gatorade, bread w/ honey. Hung out for an hour to pick up AG medal.
