Comments:

First few miles, my stomach felt nauseous and I was thinking that I shouldn't have had that energy drink. Once my stomach settled down I just got in a rhythm and kept the same pace the whole time. It was kind of strange, as there was a gap where I was running, people about 50 yards ahead and people about 50 yards behind so I ran by myself until the end.
What would you do differently?:

Wouldn't have had the energy drink. Other than that, it went really good. I bettered my last years time by 3 1/2 minutes and set a new PB.
