Notes
Certainly one of my better recent races, despite failure to sub4 but hung on to sub4 pace to Mile 22 when long hill and remaining miles in heat (75°) and direct sunlight sapped whatever I had left; given race results in most recent marathons (and on easier courses), I was expecting somewhere around 4:30 or even worse. But I did a number of things right a few days pre-race and the results were very encouraging for upcoming races.
