First seven miles of this race were two laps in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, which is fairly flat, but with one decent sized hill. I went out a just a few seconds faster per mile than planned, but was feeling pretty good. Had a slower mile 2 due to the hill, but then a faster mile 4 to make up for it. Same story on the second. Leaving the park I was feeling ok but afraid of blowing up. The rest of the course was mostly flat and I just kept ticking off the miles at about the same average pace. By mile 11 I knew I was going to be able to hold on, so I tried picking it up, though I was still only able to maintain the same pace for the last 2.1 miles. I wanted to break 1:19 but I ended up with a PR by 8 seconds though, so I can't complaint.

Nothing really.
