Notes
This worked out well. Weather wasn't as terrible as I pictured it to be and the whole hanging as a group thing was great for me. It seemed easier than it should have, and I think mentally I was in a better place with the group than on my own. Mile 18, I was ready to be done but didn't slow. very happy with myself. felt like hell after the race but that's seems to be passing. Thank you to a great group of guys for taking care of during and after the race.
BTW I got a half PR in this 1:37:10
