Hey ed!
Just got home from the HM and oh boy, did it hurt. I did manage a sub 90 though(1:29:18 on my watch, 1:29:12 official)
I couldn't keep under 4.20 as you said though. Because of the hills my pace was all over the place. I had km's from 3:53 to 4:40. The race had 174m elevation gain and 190m elevation loss, which is not soo much but not something you can look past either. Also it was really windy (23kph head-ish wind according to garmin connect).
Anyway, my 5k splits were:
21:10
20:45
22:06
20:28
4:48 (1.24 km)
I'm very happy with my race, the only big problem I had was that I couldn't keep up on the uphills, a lot of people passed/caught up to me, although I'd usually catch them again on the downhill
cheers
