Comments:

I was right on pace for for 2 hours during the first 7-8 miles. Then I developed an unfortunate cramp in my right glut that lingered for the last 5 miles which required me to do a lot of walking. I finished 15 minutes slower than my goal, but it was still at 10 minute improvement over my previous PR.
What would you do differently?:

Trained more consistently in the last month prior to the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, drank my free beer, walked around, ate Thai food.
