Comments: A few observations:
1. There were quite a few spectators on the course, and they were inspiring.
2. The volunteers everywhere were also amazing.
3. I've never seen so many orange cones in my life.
4. I'd been warned about a very long hill that was supposed to occur at mile 18. I ran a long uphill at mile 17, but since I was expecting the worse to still come, that hill didn't seem too bad. Turns out that I was misinformed, the bad hill really was during mile 17, and it ended up not being catastrophic!
