Comments:

HOT AND NO WIND. HARD WORK OVER THE LAST MILE OR SO. HAD SOMEONE ON MY SHOULDER THE WHOLE TIME BUT MANAGED TO PICK UP THE PACE IN THE LAST 100 METERS. DRINK STATIONS WERE NOT MANNED SO YOU HAD TO GRAB YOURSELF WHICH WAS A LITTLE TOUGH. GOOD COURSE AND A GOOD TURNOUT OF 350 OR SO.
What would you do differently?:

WEAR MY FUEL BELT SO I COULD DRINK MORE
