Comments:

Headed out fast, 7:15 for the first mile, around 7:20 for the next. I wanted to go faster than I normally do to see what would happen outside my comfort zone and with a higher than normal HR. Course was pretty straight forward, few hills. I wanted to break 8 min/mile which I did. I would have loved to get below 23 minutes but that beats my best 5k by almost 2 minutes so I'm good with it.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Pace myself a bit better. My HR was high but I told myself I was going to go pretty hard the whole time and see what happened, and I did.
Post race
Warm down:

Waters, banana, bagel, sat and listened to the awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just have to run more.
