Notes
Went out in the chase pack. Ran with 2 kids from Colby for the first couple miles before deciding to take a stab at the leader. Dropped the pace to ~6:20 and moved to second place. Ran in second through about mile 7. Held 3rd through the half in 1:25:xx. There I decided that racing would just get me burnt out so I cut back to just survive for the BQ. Official time was 3:02:46.4 (no idea why you include the tenth of the second in a marathon) for 8th place overall (2nd in AG). That's not the time I wanted, but it's a PR by 14:44 so it is a step in the right direction. Now to rest up and start the next cycle to break 3.
