A Wicked Fade

Ran a 5K today - Riverside Independence Run. Can't seem to break my 10K pace in a 5K. Must be a mental thing. Anyway, here are my splits:
Mile 1 - 6:46
Mile 2 - 7:16
Mile 3 - 7:29
Mile .1 - 0:45
Total - 22:16

What the hell happened? I saw a bunch of kids dart out at the start, and thought I was too slow. So I pushed a bit harder than necessary at the start. Overall pace was 7:10, same as my best 10K. I needed sub 20:00 to place, which wasn't going to happen anyway. This is my first official 5K race! More to come.
