Comments:

The course is the same as last year? The crowd was bigger. Seemed like it was crowded throughout the whole race. Lots of entertainment everywhere, seemed like on every street corner.

Ok for the actual performance of the race. I ran with two of my running partners. We had a good pace until about mile 10, when Jennifer started to develop really bad cramps in her toes. You could tell she was in a lot of pain. We slowed our pace down to accomodate her. Our pace before was just under 10 min. mile. Since this was not an A race for me, I decided to walk with her. I wanted to make sure she could finish. She would walk and stretch and then we would continue to run. She finally felt good enough for me to go ahead and run my pace. My finish is not what I was aiming for, but I am glad I stayed with her, and encouraged her to finish.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I really enjoyed this race.
