Comments:

After a wild and crazy night on the town, my husband and I ran this race. The first mile was nuts and we were just trying to keep from getting run over with all the people. We were able to pick up the pace a little but it was crazy running with so many people. I tried to keep up with my husband and was able to (although I think he ran a little slower than usual).
What would you do differently?:

Get to sleep before 4 a.m. and drink a little less beer...maybe a few less shots, too.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

We stayed out too late the night before and drank way too muc.

Event comments:

The race was really all about having fun, not trying to set a PR. Lots of fun people and positive energy. The after race party was the best ever. The band was fabulous.
