I think the difference for me was that I walked thru all of the 7 water stations & drank a lot & I carried Gu and took 3 packets (every other stop) so I felf fine at the end (except for my feet). I too want to do anther since I know I can and maybe be faster (or at else more optimistic). CONGRATS!!!
