Notes
Plan was to hang with the 4 hour (10:20) pace group as long as possible, maybe even 20 miles, and then struggle in. That pace was too fast, so slipped back by 8-9 but still held the 10:20-30 pace thru 16, slowed gradually thru 20, then slowed more steeply.
Miraculously, Jenn L appeared at the start and ran the whole way with me. Will be forever in her debt!
