Comments:

This was my first 1/2 mary. I had been training quite a bit for it and then suffered a knee injury which required many ART sessions, deep tissue massage and rest. I wasn't sure if I was up for this, but the knee held out and I had a bit left in the tank at the end. Overall, I am very happy with my first 1/2 and can't wait to do th e next one.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
