What limited your ability to perform faster:

My foot injury was bothering me, and it was a bit warmer than I had expected. Plus, no water throughout the course was tough as well.

Event comments:

There were no water stations during the course of the race. Plus, they ran out of water bottles at the finish line as well. Also, there was supposed to be a commemorative pick up for first 1500 race finishers and I was certainly among the first 1500 and still didn't get my commemorative. The start was a bit confusing, since we couldn't really hear the announcers very well. Overall, the race organization was definitely below average. There were no volunteers at the finish line to even tell us where to go from there. The finish area was definitely not very well planned.
