Notes
45F 28%H 14DP, The Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon, which goes from Holdingford, MN to St. Joseph, MN on the Lake Wobegon Trail and was number 74. Indicated weather was from St. Cloud. Temps started out in the mid 30s with wind chills in the low 20s. Winds were sustained at 28 mph and gusts up to 38 mph. For what it's worth, my age graded placement was 84/310.
I got up at 0315 which got me to the finish as one of the first people which was fine, allowing me to park very close. Had a pasta dinner (at the Gorecki dining area) the night before and another pasta dinner after getting back to my hotel and two bagels after I got back to my room before going to bed. I also had a banana and a bagel right after getting up in the morning.
I don't have my actual half time, but I see that my time for the first 13 miles was 2:05:10, and for the second 13 was 2:04:48, a negative split by 22 seconds. Pretty even running.
