My plan was to take it easy the first 10K and walk the last 5 K. I was getting tired by the first loop but still felt pretty good. I spent several minutes refueling at the refreshment area. I had a power bar, a banana, bunch of Gatorade, and some cookies.
I got to the far part of the map when I cramped up. I looked at the course and figured that if I could get two more controls then it was the same distance back as quitting so I opted to go on. I got several more cramps but only one was really bad. I was glad I had my camelback. I think that made the difference.
Several people passed me as I walked slowly the last few close controls.
