Comments:

Tough but fun run. Biggest field I've ever run in. Navigating was tough early, but otherwise no problems. Forgot to rety my shoes before the race and ended stopping to tie each of them at different points within the first 6 miles.

Great running with Anna and Deanna for different parts of the race. Both kept me pushing the pace at different points, although I just didn't have enough in the tank to keep up with Deanna at the end. Girl is fast.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on taking in some calories throughout the runs. Didn't drink more than two of three gulps of gatorade and water. Didn't eat anything. Probably had some impact on my end of race struggles.

Warm down:

Walk, eat, find family, walk, eat...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cheeseburgers, french fries, pizza, mountain dew......
