Comments:

I settled into a very comfortable 8:40 pace and felt great the first 10 miles. It was hot and I drank a cup of sports drink and a cup of water and dumped a cup of water on my head at every aid station. At mile 11 my stomach started cramping. I tried to run through it and gut it out, but at mile 13 it hurt too much and I had to slow down quite a bit. It was demoralizing to have the finish line in site and have to walk for a few moments.
Post race
Warm down:

I enjoyed the post race beer on the beach.

Event comments:

This is a very well organized race. Lot's of local support at aid stations and the bands along the way are fun. This is a pancake flat course, but the large number of participants makes for an extremely crowded course. You can't complain about a race that ends on a beach with beer.
