Notes

45F 44%H 25DP, The Chicago Marathon. Wasn't using auto lap but was pressing the lap button at each mile marker. Did screw up by also pressing it at the 13.1 halfway point which screwed up the lap count the rest of the way. I had thought I would be a bit over 5 hours, but didn't think I would be as slow as I was. My goal was just to run without having to stop during the run which I've only done once, which was when I got my PR at Lake Wogebon.

I should have gotten a pace band, but was instead using my average pace from Garmin which showed my average pace as 12:07, but what I didn't realize was that it had such a greater distance that it said I ran, namely 26.63. I hit the tangents pretty well, but did do a lot of weaving around other people. I was number G27570, but instead of starting in corral G I went back to corral L which was the second to last corral. I'm sure that caused me to have to weave around more people that I otherwise would have.

I probably could have gone somewhat faster, but I don't know how much faster I could have gone and still have been able to run without stopping.
