Comments:

Very good race for me. Previous 10k PB was 49:02. Last year's time was 53:55.

Perfect running weather. Cool and sunny! I was hoping to go sub 49 and wanted to start around 7:45 - 8:00 pace. First mile was right around 7:45, but my GPS mileage was not in sync with posted miles so I wasn't actually sure on pace. After first couple of miles, I kept a pace close to 7:30ish on my Forerunner. Started to lose it a little at Mile 5, but recovered and passed a bunch of people on the last 1/2 mile. GPS distance was 6.38 and time of 47:41 - PB!!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Lookit you go! Top 10% out there.

Way to knock almost a minute and a 1/2 off the PR. Those legs are sure finding their stride.
