Comments:

This race hurt! I started way to fast and torched my legs on the downhill sections in the opening 10 miles.

The climbing and steep downhill sections in the later portion of the race caused me to fall apart.
What would you do differently?:

Run smart race and at an even pace
Post race
Warm down:

No real warm down...I could barely walk after finishing this course

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor race execution.
Too much time in The Netherlands with only flat terrain. The Athens marathon definitely requires some hill training.
