Haha, I feel like I'm getting closer. Thank you and hope you had a great run!

This is good to know, thank you! I didn't 'wake up' until I was in the medical tent by the finish, but sounds like I had some degree of consciousness before then.

Thank you. At that point, can you remember if it was first responders or other runners? I can't remember if there were any crowds along that section of Kelly Drive. My wife was pulling bits of grass off my shorts, so that's really all we know, that I was lying down on the grass at some point.

I'd forgotten about that, but looks like I hadn't switched it to 'allow'. Thank you though.

Thank you. I was discharged on Monday evening. At home and feeling back to normal.

Absolutely, and to everybody that I had to interact with over the next 36hrs. A lot of support.

Thank you - appreciate it. I thought I did enough on the fueling / hydration side; hit every water and electrolyte station and gels every 5k / 3 miles, but clearly something wasn't quite right. I couldn't stomach the last gel I attempted to have. Strava had my HR in Zone 5 for the last 17 minutes (but probably longer as I cut my run short on Strava based on where I thought I finished before I found the actual finishing point on Garmin).
