Hehe I was pretty happy with my finish as well, the very last 5k (16.24km - 21.24km) I ran in 20:12 according to strava.
I'm always bad at math during races so what really helped me keep focused was setting the garmin's training partner to 4:13/km (I always run an extra 100-200m because of dodging people/wide turns/aid stations so I made the pace a little faster) and using it as reference of where I should be at the moment. Tried not to let it get too ahead of me at any time even when there was a downhill coming.
Right now my goal race is the Paris marathon in the beginning of april, with the half one month earlier. I wonder if it's already time to start increasing the mileage slowly. What are your thoughts?
cheers

edit:
My grandma brought my HR strap from brazil hehe any tips on how to improve my training w it?
