Comments:

It was my first marathon so I cannot complain! I stared with a smile and ended with a smile and standing upright. The part that bummed me out was as I came into city park the last 3 miles it was not marked and no volunteers so I ran off course about 1/2 mile! I was not the last finisher but pretty close. Kelvin was there getting it all on the camera and other friends there too! you all rock! Becky M thanks for running the last few miles with me even if we was off course LOL
What would you do differently?:

I am not sure what I would of done differently hard to say since it all went well for my first full marathon.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around and drank water and got my bag at the bag drop off. Took me about 30 minutes to get to my car since I sort a forgot where I parked LOL

What limited your ability to perform faster:

experience!

Event comments:

I will let the organizers of this marathon know that they need to keep volunteers on the course till the complete cut off time has come and gone. Also make sure the end of the course is well marked

CONGRATULATIONS!  I can't even imagine how good it must feel to get your first full marathon under your belt!  Actually, just thinking about it is making my foot a little achy...I don't know how people do it.  You are a rock star
