Comments:

Tried to start at 7:30 pace and hold that, but found that it wasn't possible. I slowed down gradually but ultimately averaged 8:03ish. Best time to date for a 10K so I was happy, but really wanted to get closer to 7:30 pace. There's always the next one. I know I could run faster than what I did and I think that b/c I didn't taper and I did some hard weight workouts this week, it affected my capability on race day.
What would you do differently?:

Not be so aggresive on the pacing strategy and run an even split.

Looks like a pretty fast 10K!  (that's about the pace I can hold for a 5K).
