Comments:

tried putting ice in my sports bra . . . it was terrific!
went from targeting 9.30 pace, to targeting run to the finish with no walk, flagged a little bit taking a long walk at the turn around, but rallied and got it done.

glad I carried my own water, even for the short distance, helped keep my panic about the heat at bay
