Notes
Ran the full marathon with Caitlin. Tentative target was for a 5:30 finish (overall 7:49 pace), doing a 3/1 run/walk. We were both cruising comfortably up to about 26-27 km, when things started getting hard for Caitlin - upset stomach and getting sore and stiff legs. The 5 km section from 32 km to the final turnaround was very tough for her, but she was able to tough out the final leg home.
I felt pretty comfortable the whole way. Energy wise I was fine except for a little low point at about the 40 km mark - I think I missed taking a gel earlier. I think the 3 days of carbo loading really worked. Not sure if the 4:22 finish predicted by Running Wizard was achievable. It was nice to be able to cruise comfortably through the 42 km, albeit it at a slower than normal pace.
