Comments:

Ran as fast as I could. Tried to concentrate on the current mile. Everyone who was going to pass me did so within the first quarter mile, and then I held my position. I passed Batman at one point, but then he passed me again, and we did that a couple of times until he finally kept his position ahead of me. When I got about a half mile from the finish line, I could hear someone coming up behind me, so I pushed myself as hard as I could to hold my position, which I did. I shaved almost ten minutes off my time from last year (48:31)
What would you do differently?:

Push myself a little harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Found a post to sit on and cheered the other racers in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My body.
