Notes
Kept a solid pace which would have put me at 3:54:00 finish until about mile 18 when I started to slow down. Had an asthma attack and horrible, all over intense pain about 3 miles later and had to walk and actually stop and bend over but couldn't catch my breath - someone gave me their inhaler. At that point, I decided it wasn't to be and just tried to get to the finish. Puked 3 times at mile 22 which made me feel a bit better and allowed me to jog a bit rather than just walking.
First 17 miles average pace: 8:57
Last bit: average 11:42 because of stopping
I knew that the kind of training I did was a risk and I might not be able to break 4 hours. It just wasn't meant to be. I can't really pinpoint why my body broke down so spectacularly, but it's not the end of the world.
