Comments:

I settled into my target pace as quick as possible. It was really hard not to try to keep pace with the faster runners. I felt really strong and had to force myself to slow down. I'm glad I did. I passed a lot of runners in the 2nd half of the race. I managed to roll with the downhills and push just a bit on the uphills. It seemed to work well.
I beat my target time by 11 seconds.

Post race
Warm down:

Walk for 10 minutes.
Stretch.
Drink 1 cup gatorade.
Ate lunch at the awards ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I hit my target pace exactly.
More training would be required in order to lower my time.
Maybe next year.
