Comments:

Run was good I kept with the 4 hour pacer until I got caught up at mile 16 aid station. The last 5 miles through the swamp were tough. Drank water every 2 miles a GU and water every 4.

nothing, missed a spot with body glide under my right arm. I now have a smiley face rub burn

Event comments:

I was disappointed there were no cold drinks at the finish. I just ran 26.2 miles, you could give me a cold water. The sub sandwiches were lame.
