Comments:

On pace for 3:30 marathon at half way point; at mile 14, had to stop and stretch every 2 miles; feet started to hurt at mile 20 and progressively got worse.
What would you do differently?:

Wear NB1060s (training shoes) or use NB825s more during training leading up to race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk; consume water, powerade (yuck), bananas, bagel. Collapsed on ground and layed for several minutes; stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Shoes - feet started hurting at mile 20 and progressively got worse. Should have worn NB825s more during training to acclimate the feet (or maybe wear the training shoes - NB1060s)

Event comments:

Very good race with great support. Plenty of drink stations. Fairly flat with some rollers.
