    This was really my first race, and there was a ton of anticipation and excitement coming out the gate, which means HI I RAN WAY TOO FAST/HARD

I also had this when I ran my first race (5K) a few years ago. Followed a C25K program to the letter, had a PR around 26 minutes but the adrenaline in the first mile meant that I was going wayyy too fast. Thus the last 2 km were agonizingly, painfully difficult and I ended up with a time of somewhere around 33 minutes if I recall correctly.
