Warm down:

Lots of good food, but I really didn't feel up to eating.

Event comments:

More people this year, than last (first year). Ran out of water at one water stop; ran out of cups at another. Hopefully the organizers will work thru those issues. Lots of police to help with all the road crossings; very helpful.
