Apparently around 6500 runners between the 5k and the 10k, so I'm likely gonna carry my own water, as the aid stations will likely be a clusterfuck. My very first half-marathon was supposed to have water stations every 2 miles, in actuality it was more like every 3.5-4 miles. When I got to the first one, they were giving out those super tiny paper cups that hold maybe 1/3 cup of water. I figured fine I'll deal, when I took a sip it was 90% crushed ice. Since then I always bring a minimum amount of my own water just incase.
That's my fear. A bottle of water and some ice in my camelbak won't slow me down and I can sip when I want.
Anyway, 6 month total:
Mostly bike. Some running.

Aside from "HTFU" and "don't", what is the proper etiquette for taking a walk break in a crowded 10k? Get to the right?

just go out on a comfortable pace. no walking! you're in way too good of biking shape to have to walk a 10k [unless you go out too fast\]

Either side. Stopping in the middle is certain death.

Most races are only crowded at:
the start (oh god, don't be in the front 10%)
The stations(you've got a plan)
the end a little(I've never understood this "hump)
You might encounter one or two other "bulges", but most races I've been on haven't been ridiculous after the first mile.

I plan on starting near the end of things. No business being up front.
stickaz--my cycling conditioning doesn't have much bearing on my running. The cardio is nothing, but the impact still wrecks me. Plus, I can coast on a bike. Hopefully the adrenaline of it all keeps me moving.
Thanks for the input. Race is at 6:30 tonight, assuming thunderstorms don't cancel it.

Probably not as fun as that, its fire road with about 2k of vert over a 4 mile climb.

That 10k turned out to be a blast. So glad I did it.
I ran a 1:01:46 with a 5k of 28:06, which is the fastest 5k I've ever put down, so I'm stoked about that. 9:57 pace, so I'm sub-10 minute. Still dog slow by real runners' standards, but I'm happy about it. I don't know how I placed. Says 741st, 111 in my division (M40-49), but I don't know the exact number of people in the 10k.
Others in my little crew ranged from 45-50 minutes. The dude who did 45 has done a 36 minute 10k in more heavily-trained days.
The Camelbak saved my ass. It was 90 and Amazon-humid at start time. Just brutal. Apparently, a few people got overcome during the damn 5k. Plenty of water stops, but they wouldn't have done enough for me. I walked a few times, but I didn't walk until the 5k mark (thus the PR).
Of interest--Dick and Rick Hoyt ran this event (along with a bunch of others on "Team Hoyt"). I finished about 20 seconds before he did. Bad motherfucker, he is.
They announced names as we crossed the line, so having my name announced at Gillette stadium was pretty badass. Overall, a VERY well-run event for so many runners (6500 between the separate 5k and the 10k).
I'm pretty psyched I did it. Again, nothing super impressive, but it's another life experience. 178 miles of MS150 on 6/21-22 and now this.

Good job. Anytime people worry about times, just think of how many people could finish a 10k.
That is such a nice thing to say.

The heat here blows, upper 80's and 50%+ humidity at 5am should be a crime. I keep telling myself it's good training, right? Right????
Heart rate in the upper 180's at an 8:30 pace can die.

I feel ya with the heat. Ran 10 miles today at a 9:40 or so pace, which is a solid minute+ slower than I'd be doing this when its cool. Did it 9am-10:30am and it was about 90 degrees here in FL. The heat really slows me down, but want to try to hit 100 miles this month so gotta get out there and just try not to die lol.
