I ran very well; faster than I anticipated.

I was a little upset by the number of people that I had to pass during the first 2 miles. People not being honest with their finish times....
What would you do differently?:

Move up a wave or two next year :)

Event comments:

This event is very well organized; especially considering 33,000 people ran the course. Running downtown Chicago with a lot of spectators is a wonderful experience!
