Comments:

Did not race this at all, just ran with the guys. First we lost Steve, then Bart fell off the pace. Clay yo-yo'd a bit but most ran the second half just the two of us. Had a ton of fun in the rain and not worrying about my time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, two weeks after the marathon was just looking to have fun
