Comments:

The race was about .1 miles short. I finished the real race in 20:19 and did some extrapolation to get to the 21:12 finish time for a 5k. Went our hard and held on.

Mile 1: 6:13 (prolly too hard)
Mile 2: 7:25 (all uphill)
Mile 3: 6:49 (a bit downhill)
Mile 3.1: :45 (extrapolated)


What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Gave it all I had. Finished strong and was whipped after I was done - I didn't have anything left.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I was aiming for sub 7min/mile and hit that by a good bit. This was a PR by a long way.
