Hi Dailies.
3:55:32 for us both. So close to a BQ for Mrs. K. She really blew up on the last mile. It got a bit warm and we saw some runners being tended to by the paramedics and it just messed with her mind. She killed her first goal of a sub 4:00 and I am so proud of her. She is a great wife and mom and she deserves it.
Way to go Mrs. Klompus! She's earned herself a new Cadillac!

No doubt wit help from you Sir. Great job by the both of you!
That is a most excellent time, especially for a woman, especially in her AG, and especially considering it was her first marathon. I'm sure you had a lot to do with her success, Jack. Congratulations to both of you! Now, you both need to train separately so that you can both BQ on your next race. And then,,, hello Boston! the Mr and the Mrs are in town!

Nice pacing, Jack, and congrats to Mrs. K! Way to rock the first marathon. Hopefully the memory of that last mile will fade a bit with some rest.
PS- You guys should come up and pace me for Portland.
Now, you both need to train separately so that you can both BQ on your next race.
He has his BQ already and is done with marathon training forever until way later in the year. For now it's time to train for speed!
He has his BQ, but won't he need another to time it with his wife? Unless she can get hers before mid-September. Then they're ok.

6.5 in - recovery mode.
Time to hear about the racers!

Thanks for the comments on my race. I'll do a full report in the next day or two. I knew a bunch of people who ran this today and pretty much everyone I knew was slower than expected, anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes slower. So, I feel better about my time now. Not sure if heat alone did me in, but I'll address that in my RR.
Nice to hear Team Klompus did so well! Bummer to miss that BQ by such a small margin, but that is a hell of a debut for Mrs. K.

Wonderful job racers
Nic pic, Baboon! There is nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment after running 26.2 miles and giving it your all. No matter what the finish time is. You deserve to celebrate, as do all today's racers!

I know that's right! I drink like a damn hound dog after a marathon. Shit, after my second one I drank an entire bottle of wine! Purple lip city. lol
