Comments:

Started off with a lot of standing around as we had to drop Pops off at the marathon so we waited a bit but that's ok.

Ran into a couple people from STC before the race but mostly hung out with mom pre race.

Once the race started it was an instant bottleneck because of sharp corners and walkers being in the way. Drives me nuts how walkers go near the front! Told mom that I had to get out and go because this cramped running was killing me. I broke out and just started going, Laura caught up to me and ran with me for 90% of the day.

Was cruising along until about mile 11 or so when I could start feeling the legs. Kept pushing through as I wanted to finish under 2 hours and set a new PR for myself.

Was able to continue even though I'm sure I slowed a bit at the end but did complete it under 2:00.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think anything.

Event comments:

They do a very good job putting this together. This is the second time I've run it and I'll be doing it in the future as well.
