Comments:

I managed to position myself closer to the start, so I didn't have to fight a slower start. I was a little behind the 8min/mi pace group. I yo-yo'd closer and further from them, but usually kept them in sight. Finally caught them around mile 8 and stayed until I picked it up with a a mile or so to go.
What would you do differently?:

Executed this race better than I expected, so not much.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I haven't been consistent with my running or eating well recently. Those two are the biggest factors.

Event comments:

As always, the DRC puts on a great event. All the basics well covered, nice long-sleeve tech shirt, plenty of volunteers and food, and lots of vendors.
