Notes
Wow. Sunny, hot, and humid with a tough warm headwind... should have trained with a blow dryer in my face. Ran by feel, which unfortunately was slow... so many 6+ min miles... it's embarrassing. The fact of the matter, though, is that I probably couldn't have ran much faster today. I probably lost a minute or two running in no man's land for miles 3 through 16. Nothing like a 13 mile solo tempo run in the middle of a large marathon. My mistake for not falling into the pack in the early going of the marathon. Thankfully, I was able to run with someone for the final 10 miles... really helped to have some company. Overall, a pretty crappy performance to match a crappy day. Top 25 finish though, so that's cool.
