Comments:

went out faster than I wanted to but was able to hold my pace. Planned on taking a gu every 40 minutes but they just didn't sit with me. Really started to feel it around mile 10. Turned the corner at mile 13 and said to the woman next to me thats the longest tenth of a mile i've ever seen. :) Didn't think I'd have enough for a final kick but managed to pass around 10 - 15 people in the last couple 100 feet :)
What would you do differently?:
