Comments:

Started out feeling good. Knew I was running to fast to hold, but figured I'd see how long I could hold it. At mile 8.5 started to get some stomach cramps. Started doing walking breaks through aid stations.to get in some hydration/nutrition. Started feeling better in the last mile or so, but still did the walking breaks.
