Notes
The good first: PR by over 20 minutes & felt strong (not that it didn't hurt) the whole way; made a friend who executed his first marathon really well; NO stomach issues; cool weather.
The bad: my Garmin lost satellite reception at mile 10 and never recovered; hilly course; rain/mist/wind nearly the whole way; 9 miles on an exposed highway into the wind; lost Joe just after mile 1; lost Mom after mile 18 or so; some pretty impressive blisters & chafing.
