Comments:

Actually drank my gatorade a little bit early.... with the crowds, I didn't get to the start line until 8:18 so it was almost 20 minutes too early. Keep in mind for next time.

Tried to do walking every 10 minutes. Started with 15 sec walk and increased up to 1 minute toward mile 5. Did not walk last 2 miles.
What would you do differently?:

carefull with liquid intake before start. Needed to stop to use the restroom when in GG park.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk/jog for 10 minutes

Event comments:

Beat my estimated time. Followed the below strategy but did better than that.

Sign up earlier next year to get up front and avoid the weaving around!!
