Okay, I knew something was wrong with my times. The race results were faulty. My "real" stats are 40:26 chip, 44:08 gun, averaging 8.06 minute miles. That still seems a little fast to me but I'll take it :)
I'm a little disappointed and embarrassed now that I didn't run so fast, I wish I knew exactly what my times were, but I didn't bother using my Nike+ ap cause I thought the race was keeping track.
I wrote to the organizers on Friday night to tell them that there was no way I could have run as fast as they said. It was a little deflating. I decided to use it to motivate me, though. Someday, maybe next year or the year after, I will make it onto the Leader Board. I may not be first, it may not be with 5:41 minute miles but I will get there.
Also, to make sure this never happens again, I've invested in a GPS pedometer. I used it for the first time last night. It's pretty cool.
