Comments:

Felt great! Never hit the wall and kept my pacing even. I didn't make the mistake of going out too fast either. Nutrition and fluid intake were pretty good as well. No muscle twinges or cramping.
What would you do differently?:

Try to get in one more GU gel, but it didn't seem critical.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and continued to walk around. Has some ginger ale to calm stomach and some peanut butter.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I hit the goal I had (3:30) and will continue to try and lose the last 15 or so pounds I have. Just continuing to train and keep my weight down will get me to Boston.
