Comments:

My first one. Started training in January after being couch potato for 12 years. Great adventure. I made new friends while joining a training group.
What would you do differently?:

Start slower, that way I would not have had to walk during the last 6 miles.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I just wanted to finish; Still started too fast.

IT could not have been better. I loved every second of it. Thank you to all the people that made it happen.
