Notes
Well what can I say, I had a pretty good first half. Things really fell apart though as it got warm and humid and I just wilted. Drank gatorade and water at a lot of stops, as well as my 2 bottles of Nuun, and 6 S Caps. Lots of walk breaks in the last 5 miles, and that last mile before the finish is really hard with a long steady uphill, but then a nice downhill "sprint" to the finish. So, did I go out too fast? Probably, but I really tried not to, and tried to stay with the pace groups but did plan to stay with 3:45, and ended up tagging along with the 3:35 guy for awhile, so yeah, probably too fast. My quads were ok though, just felt wrung out by the humidity and warm temps. So, marathon #42 (#45 "long thing" with 3 ultras), and state #19, in the books.
