My splits were terrible.  I was a little to cocky coming out of the gate thinking that if I wasn't in 1st place the first mile then I would loose.  Well a sprinter (that quickly faded) headed out at a 5:30 pace and I tailed him for the first mile at a 5:40 pace way out of range of my pace.  So my splits were 5:58, 6:17, and 6:29 horrible I know.  I ran a 19:04 time which I was pretty pleased with but not a new PR by any means.  But if you PR everytime then it would take some of the fun out of it.
