Comments:

Great course for my first marathon. The temps started out pretty cold (maybe 35?)but then warmed up enough. I did have to take of one layer but that was ok.
What would you do differently?:

I would take some of the salt packets? Push a little harder at the beginning.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Since this was my first marathon, I did not know what to expect. Now I beleive I could have gone a bit faster. LAst 2 miles felt a couple of cramps so maybe I should have taken the salt packets?

Event comments:

This was my first marathon. From what I could tell it was organized very well. The course was marked weeks in advance so we could go check it out.
