Comments:

It was brutal!! The heat was bad but coupled with my cold, it just kicked my butt! I had no energy after mile 10 and had to continually talk myself into finishing the race.
What would you do differently?:

Not get sick the week before a marathon!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked back to hotel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat and the cold! Nice contradiction but its correct.
