Comments:

This is my second marathon, first big marathon, and I loved it!!
The start was a little crowded in the first 7 miles with both the 1/2 and full marathon going out, but good crowd support, volunteers were wonderful. I did exactly what I wanted to do. Just a great race.
What would you do differently?:

Not a thing!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for about 30 minutes afterward, had a banana and sports drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

For future races will train with higher weekly mileage to get thru the last 6 miles faster.

Event comments:

Will do this one again!
