Comments:

I found a couple of good pacers right off and stayed with them till 2 mile mark where I grabbed some water ( mistake as I did not find another pace partner and was not really that thirsty or hot). I felt good stuggled with pace the last 1.1 mile. CK found me with a few hundred yards to go and motivated me to finish hard.
What would you do differently?:

I should have not stopped for water, lost pace partners and rhythm. Not much other than more training,I have never been a runner and was happy as I ran ran 1st 2 miles without any walking.
