Comments:

DNF, My legs went into spasm and that was it for me. I mad a very ugly sound when the cramps came and a race volunteer asked me if I needed a medic. I could have finished, if I would have walked, but there did seem to be any reason to do that. In reflection, If I had walked a mile, used glucose and sodium, got into some cola, I might have been able to get back to a run. But I didn't know that then.
