Finally felt my left foot (frozen from the swim) at mile 3. I was out of energy and didn't seem to care at this point. Ran/Walked the rest of the way, talked to people and tried to enjoy myself.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The super cold water.

Event comments:

The volunteers and spectators are amazing on this course, which kind of helps to hide the fact that the course really isn't that great.
