Comments:

Too many people on the course, or should I say, too many people running with buddies taking up the whole road. Spectators crowded into the street along 6th I believe making it even more difficult to pass slower runners.

I had a lot left at the end of the race which disappointed me. When we split from the marathoners I wished I was going with them as I had tons of energy from not giving it everything within the 13 miles I ran.
What would you do differently?:

Start in a faster corral.
Post race
Warm down:

Finished in time to watch the marathon winner cross the finish line.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

People running 6-8 abreast hindering passing.
