pushed a little harder than I had planned, felt good passing people so I just did it, halfway home, I knew I could do a 5:30 so I just kept pushing, peed 3 times

Comments:

had a fast first half, but fell off a bit in the second, walked for 45 seconds while consuming honey bun at special needs and never made up for that slow mile, cramped on last mile while trying to push a fast finish, but tried to drink lots of perform at last aid station
What would you do differently?:

drink more near the end and not walk through special needs

15 minute massage

being slow, cramping in hamstring on the last mile while trying to finish fast
