Congrats! And smart thinking with the gels (although I'd prefer my double-caffiene Espresso Gu). I did 15 the other day without any food or water ... not the wisest idea to count on water fountains and a banana. This is probably the wrong time to tell you what you'll learn soon enough: that the last 5-6 miles of a marathon are easily as hard as the first 20 ... even without flying monkeys ...
