Post race
Warm down:

very dizzy, out of it at finish. dehydrated, falling over.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

hydration on the run. plan was to get heed and water at every water stop but it was not available to us back of the packers.

Event comments:

sad about them not having cups at mile 3, but when we got to mile 4 they heard and knew we were all fighting dehydration so they gave us extra water (refilled our cups).
