Comments:

Everything felt really good today.. held it back just a little bit for the first few miles, cruised the middle piece, and was able to kick at 6:45 and 6:30 for the last 2. Never felt bad the entire race- probably could have pushed it a little more to try to hit sub-70, but it was still a PR by about 5 minutes. And most importantly, I beat the guy running in a suit right before the finish. Hopefully he didn't start in a wave behind me. Like getting beat by the juggler at MCM years ago.

Organizers did a great job again- everything went off as planned- they appear to have this thing down. Conditions couldn't have been better- cool but not cold, hardly any breeze, and just a beautiful morning altogether.

Garmin read 10.10 at the end, just like last year.. others had the same experience.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little earlier.

Warm down:

Straight back to the Metro and home by 10.

Nice work!  You must have been finishing right near me, I passed the guy in the suit with about a mile to go and as I passed bigger and bigger crowds of spectators, I kept hearing "holy cow, look at the guy in the suit!"
