Notes
Des Moines Marathon. Ugh. I was ahead and cruising at Mile 18, ahead and feeling the pain by Mile 20, then cramps at Mile 21+ and it was all downhill (metaphorically) from there. Ended with a PR, but 13 mins off my goal pace, all in the last five miles. Not the easiest course in the world and I'm sure the hills in the first 8 miles, plus a hard downhill through Mile 16 hurt me eventually. And there was heavy wind for a good part of the race. Oh well, I lived & PRed, so that's not too bad.
8:55, 8:48, 9:09 (hill), 8:48, 8:07, 8:37, 8:45, 8:14, 8:18, 8:27, 8:12, 8:17, 8:38, 8:20, 8:26, 8:02, 8:19, 8:50, 8:20, 8:34, 8:52, 10:40, 10:42, 11:47, 12:49, 13:00 (last 1.2)
