Comments:

I could've been done at 6K and would've been happy with that!! Thanks for my call-a-friend lifeline I got a little motivation at 4.5 miles when I was ready to be done...
Could've used a water station a bit earlier...first one was at about 2.5 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Ummm...train...at all!

Warm down:

Got bag of chips and my bottle of water - - sucks! All the snacks got taken before I finished :-(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack o' training!

Event comments:

It took a WHILE to cross the start line at the beginning...but I guess when you're running with 30,000 of your friends - it would! Beer line was long...but line at the parking garage was even longer - took us about 45 minutes to get out the garage..wished I would've gotten my free beer :-(
