Notes

Started out feeling really good, like I wasn't even tired from the bike. First mile I kept at 6:18, but they all just got harder from there. Stayed around a 6:40 pace for the way out, but then lost it after the turnaround, and trudged three miles at 7:28, 8:27 and 8:44. Managed to push myself to finish a little better in the last two miles (thanks to some delicious coke?) and did the last two at 6:50 and 5:something. Also, the course was long. Over the last mile I kicked (and died) about 6 times before I finally managed to shake a guy who was right on my heels. He was probably doing the olympic or something.

I know I should have eaten more than one gu (and some pepsi with 3 miles to go). I figured once I was on the run it was basically too late anyway, but that's race-brain talking.
