Comments:

Did exactly as Dan said. Let my body relax and recover first mile. Picked it up 2-4 and really tried to push on fifth mile. No walking except slowing during aid stations. I actually passed people on hte run that is a first. Best 10k time in Olympic distance. Happy with that. Still want to be faster.

What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder.
