Comments:

I can't drink water while running although I tried. Didn't really need water anyway. Stuck to Mike Ricci's recommended plan for someone new to 10k racing (2 miles z2, 2 miles z3, 2.2 miles at whatever) Had a great time and felt strong the entire race.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This HR pacing obviously isn't going to work for 10k runs where I'm trying to make a goal time, but it made my first 10k a blast.
Post race
Warm down:

walked, took water, gatorade, banana and a bagel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sticking to HR plan.

Event comments:

Awesome race for $5 and you just show up the morning of the race. I'll definitely do this again.

Nice job on your first 10K. Way to save the best for last, and you came in under 9:00 per.
