Scripps Ranch is a fun one, mainly because it ends on a serious downhill that has you flying through the final half mile. I hope you get to do it. Nice job!

Like you, I have a terrible time holding back at the beginning of races, and my first quarter mile or so is always way faster than my final race pace. I find that it's really hard to hold back with the adrenaline flowing, but if I can reel in to race pace within that quarter mile, I'm usually ok. I now pretty much let myself go at the beginning, and focus on slowing down quickly and comfortably so that I don't burn out. Nice job on that first mile!
