Comments:

I felt real strong all the way through to mile 18 then i hit it. The last 6 miles were a blur.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure if I could have done anything differently. I think if I would have ran slower during miles 6-15 I still would have bombed the last 6.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around in a daze. I couldn't find the food and water for a while, and even went inside the AA. I almost asked for medical attention because I felt light headed, but I knew all I needed was fluids and sugar. Once I got that I was fine (relatively speaking).

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Experience...
