Forums >Racing>DFW, Texas: Whiterock Marathon and Half Marathon
I did 3:44:06 for the full - about 9 minutes faster than last year. I may write something up about it later, but there really wasn't much to talk about. Pleasant weather, I sandbagged according to plan for the first half, then picked it up until cramps slowed me down at mile 24. With all those people, there was no way we were going to run into each other without some specific meeting place. I think I also prefer smaller races, but still had fun.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I had a tough second half, not sure why (I'm planning a write up to get your advice). I was hoping to break four hours for the full, which was doable but not a shoe-in. I ended up at 4:22. Just couldn't get going in the second half. But this was my first marathon running so I'm not going to worry about it, just focus on the next one. Glad to hear you guys had good days.
but it was too cold for me

So I guess that metallic throw did not help?
