Bob,
Great meeting you yesterday morning & way to blow that 2hr mark out of the water! I'd say if you backed off the pace even a little more in those early miles, you may be able to shave a few more mins off that time at your current fitness level.
Also, I know you were w/ us for awhile, so I posted the splits if you want to dump those in your log
(in case you weren't taking your own - see below
).
This was honestly one of the best marathon-prep workouts I've ever had. Coupled w/ the fact that I was coming off a really bad injury and logged '0' miles from Sept '07 - Jan '08, this was a really nice indicator for me in my lead into NY.
Anyway, this was pulled from my log if you need the early splits:
