Comments:

Probably a little too fast in Miles 2-4, Cramps on the hills at mile 22 & beyond, probably walked 20% of the last 4 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe train 22-23 miles for a long run, think that is where the wall was. Eat more salt/gels, A lot of salted caked on my face & shirt.
Post race
Warm down:

Ice bath, self massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hills were hard that late in the race

Event comments:

Good race, great volumteers, Good job for 1st time back. XXL t-shirts would have been nice.
