Comments:

A very good run. I was hoping for 7:15-7:30 min/mile and, according to my Suunto GPS, I ended up with 7:02. How could I complain? I'm always perplexed by the difference I see on my GPS versus official results. According to the results page, I did 7:17 min/mile, and according to calculations here I did 7:27. Which to believe? I tend to go by my Suunto since that is what I use all the time, so I have a standard of comparison.

What would you do differently?:

Run faster.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to do more LT training - tempo runs - in order to be able to sustain a faster pace for a longer duration. I faded a bit at the end.

Event comments:

A good race. Good snacks at the finish line, plus Harvest Bread mulit-grain bread with honey butter. Maybe warming the butter and the honey would be a good idea?
