Comments:

Seems that I have settled into a high 7 minute per mile pace. Need to break through that wall. I was shooting for 46 minutes so I was over 2 minutes off. Not a big deal, but something I want to get down to.
What would you do differently?:

Need to do more interval training. I think that will be my way to break through that 46 minute barrier.
Post race
Warm down:

Some stretching and walked back the mile to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Interval training perhaps. Maybe I just can't run faster. I am not slow, but I am not fast.

Event comments:

Inaugural event. Slightly delayed. But overall fun.

Good Job

I am no expert but with some repeat
Intervals at your desired pace you will get there . Your pace should be 1 min 50 sec for each 400m.
Or about 4 min 30 sec per 1000m.
