Comments:

nice cool morning. lots of people, hard to get away and run at pace with all the crowds. ended up on the other side of the median for first .5 mile or so. Maintained steady pace, at 2 mile, picked up pace. Noticed HR was very high for entire race. Sprinted the last 200 yards - HR up to 182!.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around looking for water - crowds were thick, could not see anything. wandered over to CENG tailgate, got water, talked to friends and left.

Event comments:

traffic control good before the race and absolutely AWFUL after the race. food and drink were not well marked from finish line - - had NO idea where to go for water. Overall, as expected, crowded and for a good cause.
