Took a while to get into a rhythm but once I started feeling good the race went very well. Quads felt like rocks around mile 7 but managed to get through it and push towards the finish.

Awesome race, lots of aid stations and voluteers, the spectators on the side definitely help you keep going at a good pace. And the after party was the best one that I have ever been too. Definitely recommend that anyone thinking about doing this race does it!
