Notes
Erie Marathon.
New PR. Fairly humid and warm day, so I played it conservative the first half or so. Ran the second half about a minute faster than the first. As with Salisbury, had a low point in my energy from roughly miles 12-15, then caught a big second wind at mile 18 that lasted until 23 and some change, then held on for dear life. This time my quads held up well, but my hamstrings got pretty tired and painful, then calves to some degree towards the end.
Passed a ton of people in the last 6 miles, and for once managed something of a kick at the end of a marathon. Was hoping for a 2:55 or under, but a PR is a PR. Took a dip in Lake Erie afterwards which felt great. But the chafing is the worst I have ever had lol. Beautiful course. Erie is pretty cool. Would definitely revisit.
Some splits:
10k: 41:59, Half: 1:28:54, 20 miles: 2:15:49
