Performance:	Good
Course:	great course, ran with a guy from mile 5 to around 18. great to have someone to pace with. legs cramped and were tight at mile 21, took on a gel, felt better, last mile and a half was pretty painful. was on the verge of cramping very bad right by the finish line. ditched the hydration belt at 10k. didn't need it, plenty of drink stations. felt really good the whole way though, great experience.
