Comments:

First attempt at race this long, this many competitors (+14k) and on a very hot day.
What would you do differently?:

Where clothing more suited to warmer weather - stuff that breathes well. Cotton t-shirt added many pounds of weight by end of race.
Post race
Warm down:

Tried to stay standing. Very exhausted at end.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My ability to run the distance. Previously longest was a 5-mile run.

Event comments:

Need to get used to starting a race and running first couple miles in a crowd. Hard to get into a race rhythm.
