Comments:

It was a PR. Felt really good for most of the run until about 5.5 mile mark, that's when we hit the 2nd climb of the bridge and I slowly started to lose it and lost the sub 45. HR peaked at 187 on the 2nd climb and didn't really recover on the decent, just let the turnover carry me down. Had nothing left to push the last 0.21 any harder, the 2 guys about 20 yards ahead of me slowly left me at the end.
What would you do differently?:

Slowed down a bit too much after 1 mile to the 3 mile mark, wish I had a GPS or pod to give me pace feedback.
Post race
Warm down:

Nada, stumbled over to family and friends! Ran into (no pun intended!) Toucan after the race and talked for a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need more tempo and interval training, probably backed off to much after the 1/2 marathon 3 weeks ago.

Event comments:

Nice 10k with an ass kicking at the end!
