Comments:

Total Blow up. Went out way too fast. The first mile ended up being 6:34, which is the fastest mile I have ever run. The only problem, I had 5.2 to go and didn't have it in me to maintain that pace for the remainder of the run.
What would you do differently?:

Better pacing from the start.

Yeah, chris said the winner did the race in like 28 minutes or something ridiculous like that.

 Sorry you went out too fast Rob, all I can say is that you can take this and learn from it, I still think you ran great though!

Great race baby.  Don't beat yourself up too bad.  You still run a lot faster than me.  That first mile really was incredible.  I think you made the Kenyans run a little faster this year

Holy crap that was a fast first mile!!! Look at it this way, at least you got a PB at the race, just not for the whole race
