My times were:

9:00, 9:01, 9:50, 9:56, 9:21. The last mile went past the finish line, and I walked until I finished the 5th mile. If I had to guess my pace, I was probably around a 9:30 or better. My first mile started up in the ~8:15 range, but I backed off to race pace. I like to get separation at the start, so I'll do some quick bursts to get around slow people.

EDGEMAN • 03/18/23 11:29 AM ET
A big mistake many people make is underestimating rest before a race.
UEMcGill • 03/18/23 04:12 PM ET
Always err on the side of rest.**
