Comments:

You really get to a lot of different parts of the city during this run. It is fun and there are people and bands everywhere.

What would you do differently?:

Not have a hurt achilles. Run more recently than a week and a half ago. Go faster!!

Post race

Warm down:

Not much. Walked around trying to find Tom in a sea of people and walked back to the car.

Event comments:

The finish line area is horrible. It is clearly not enough space for so many people. It is the only bad part of the race.
