Comments:

Very slow start due to the large amount of people. Frustrated at those who did not line up according to their pace despite the announcement being made at least 10 times. Lots of traffic to work through the whole race. Bagels are out as pre-race breakfast as they sit too heavy.
What would you do differently?:

Eat something different for pre-race breakfast. Pick a better starting position so it's easier to move around traffic.
