Notes
Fil and I went down. Pretty chill before the start. Met up with Zona, Susan, Dan, Bui, and Colin. Plan was to run sub 3, but after my first stop in the portajohn at mile 8 I really lost my navigation center on pacing. After my second stop I came out of the portajohn like a rocket ready to make up time lost right away. I was hurting pretty bad around 18 and a BAA kid pulled up on my shoulder and we started working together on the pacing. He took off at mile 24 and i finished on.
This was a big reminder of how important the "little things" are. Following your pre race routine, eating the right diet leading up and most importantly respecting the distance. 26.2 miles is a long way to run. There are no two ways about it. And sometimes shit happens. Deal with it.
Great to see Matt get BQ. That was pretty awesome. Such a good feeling and he worked hard for it. Bui was ridic running a 2:46. Can't really wrap my head around that. Zona qualified. Fil ran 4 seconds faster than Boston and Colin PR'd.Reeder ran a 2:49 on what I think was whim. All and all a really good day for everyone involved.
