Comments:

I wanted to enjoy the event and finish it without any injuries. Not prepared to run 13.1 miles yet, but can run/walk that far! I carried a water bottle in my hand and stayed well hydrated along the way. Forgot hat and sunscreen -- BAD BAD BAD! My nipples were very sore afterwards!
Overall, I had a great time. This was not a race where I planned on pushing myself very hard. Life has been too stressful to train properly leading up to this event.

What would you do differently?:

Wear a hat.
Put on sunscreen!
Use some kind of chaffing cream or something in some places.
