Comments:

Happened to get a number 4 weeks before the race and had not trained. Given the lack of training and the unreal heat, I'm thrilled to have finished. Deviated from my sodium plan at mile 16, paid for it at 21 but made up for it with extra salt tabs. An experience to be sure. Would love to have seen what I could have done had I trained and if it was normal temperatures. I had absolutely no business being out there.

Event comments:

The organizers went way above and beyond to take care of people in the heat. The mist tents at the firestations were especially helpful.
