Comments:

Took off fairly quick, 3:17 1/2 mile, 6:40 first mile. Held on 7 min pace, slightly slower on last mile.

Felt well in control, with good running form, but don't quite have a faster gear yet.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe a touch slower at the start, but overall was well-executed.
Post race
Warm down:

Kibbitz and schmooze.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of speed work at this stage of my training.

Event comments:

A fairly small (300) all-male race to benefit UVA prostate cancer research. A good cause, and a well-done race. Scenic rural course.
