Notes
1:50:51-1:45:28..............a perfect morning for a marathon..cloudy and cool. it was very packed at the start. Caryn and I started at the end of Coral B...it seemed i had to navigate/weave through runners for the first 8 or so miles of the course. i felt pretty good the first 11 miles..once I crested the hill at mile 12, my legs felt loser and i felt more energized. i gradually got stronger as the race went on. on the pitt marathon website, they had alot of cool software that gave information on times of runners....the first 20 miles, i passed 1473 runners and 18 runners past me. i still felt good the last 6.2 miles. i passed 185 runners and 1 runner passed me. i averaged a 7:56 min/mile the last 6.2. i thought the hills in Oakland were tougher but they weren't bad at all. i wanted to run faster the last few miles, but i could tell my legs could have crampted up so i had to hold back...great fan support. Caryn ran a PR at 4:18:36! Overall, a great weekend. The Dick Fralick River Run 5K was the day before and was a success. We also enjoyed ourselves with friends Nicki, Tim, Leigh, Steve, Jarrod and a few others in Pitt.
