I crapped out of my last half-marathon. My knee just wouldn't go on after about 16K. Yeah, I was bummed out about it but it's the sort of thing that does happen to runners and you gotta roll with those punches.
I do concur with dlish in that you really need to get your race kit and bag all sorted out the day before and be checking your shoes weeks in advance. Those errors are within your control and are easily eliminated.
