Comments:

Had to consume 48 oz. of EFS to prevent cramping. Cramped like the dickens upon crossing finish line.
What would you do differently?:

Very muggy, high dewpoint and "sultry." Not much I could do. Wish my start was a bit stronger.
Post race
Warm down:

Inhaled 2 bananas and Gatorade upon crossing the finish line to alleviate the cramps.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

High dewpoint. Crappy start.
