Comments:

Goal Pace was 7:00/mile. Hit miles one and two on the button, was tiring a bit at mile three, but was also a bit uphill. I couldn't see the finish line due to it being around a corner, I was just starting my final kick when I came around the corner and the race ended.

PR by exactly 1 minute! I'm sure I would have PRed if the course was the right distance too given my splits.
What would you do differently?:

Don't necessarily count on the Garmin, could consider the course a bit better.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall I'm really pleased with my effort.

Event comments:

Race wasn't impressively organized. I raced as part of a team which DQed me from the individual results for some reason. Course was short, and the sandy spots along the trail weren't ideal. After the race ended the awards took FOREVER for the volunteers to figure out, and results were never posted. I do quite a few small events so I knew not to expect much, but this wasn't run well.
