Comments:

About half way into the race my orthodics started to rub. By mile 8 they hurt so badly I stopped to check out my foot. Turns out I had a huge blister on my arch. With no place to go but forward being on the 14th St bridge I just took my orthodic out and kept going. I don't think it affected my time too much, but oh man did that blister get worse and have to be tended to by a doctor later on. Next time, I'll heed the warnings sooner.

What would you do differently?:

Listen to the blister warnings way earlier.

Warm down:

Walk out of the pentagon parking lot is warm-down enough--what a maze!

Performance:	Good
Course:	Course is relatively flat, and very scenic. I love that it also avoids the boring Haines Point. There's a good crowd for the course, and Army bands here and there, enough to keep you distracted if you want.
