Comments:

Frigid temps set a record for this race, the year I decided to run it of course. Was sunny but cold and I never was close to overheating thats for sure. Fun race though, running to and through all the parks and all the assorted entertainment they have along the route. Extremely flat course. Will plan on doing it again as it would be really cool to do this when the weather is normal Florida weather, that is warmer and sunny.
What would you do differently?:

In order to sustain my speed on the last 10k i think i need to do something differently. Longer runs maybe, although i did numerous 20 and 21 mile runs. I rank my run average because i didn't sustain my speed the last 10k.
Post race
Warm down:

Grab the solar blanket, some Clif bars, bagel and Powerade and walk back to the monorail to get back to the Grand Floridian. Hands were numb by the time i got to the monorail. Just wanted to get out of the cold.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Longer and faster training.

Event comments:

I would prefer more food stations, and sooner. Think the first was at mile 17. I definately need them sooner than that.
