Comments:

The first half went by quick because I was runing with friends. Started cramping at about mile 20-21ish ... to a point that I couldn't bend my knee so I started doing a run/walk combo until the leg loosened and I was good to go about mile 24. THen I crossed -- good times.

What would you do differently?:

Not cramp up.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a little. Had about four oranges.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor training, lack of intestinal fortitude.

Event comments:

Good race, good course, just crappy performance.
