Comments:

Ran 5 and 2 splits due to injury. My running partner started to cramp up at 17 miles...walked with her for awhile. Had some knee pain, nothing pain killers couldn't take care of until the finish. Could have finished in 5 hours is I had gone without my partner. Oh well next time ;)
What would you do differently?:

Run uninjured and stop with the 5 and 2s
Post race
Warm down:

Beer at the finish line and what seemed like a loooooong walk back to the Luxor

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Injury

Event comments:

My only complaint was there was no finisher gear left when I crossed the finish line....I will just have to be faster next time!
