I was at the race, too.  Even though the weather was cooler this year, the run was still very hot.  Sorry to hear about the leg cramps, I saw a lot of folks on the run suffering with cramps of one form or another.  Plus, its was hard to keep drinking enough to keep the fluid levels where they needed to be.

Still, I hope you enjoyed the race.  It was awesome.  Congratulations on finishing in spite of the problems.
