First of all you should have been on the front row because after all, you are a signature contributor to Let's Run. The brojo's should have assisted you here.

That does sound really slow now you mention it. I just checked my Garmin and it says I ran at 5:05 pace for the last 260m, which for 0.1 of a mile should be like 30 seconds. I swear I’m not that slow.
Do you still feel like you disappointed a lot of people or did you realize that was idiotic? (Seriously have you ever said, well I cant be friends with that guy any more he ran a 18 min 5k,,)
Congrats on a good run.
