Comments:

kept a good pace through mile 21. right about 8:30. friend I ran with had his garmin on which kept us from going out way fast and blowing up. about mile 22 I started taking more time at the aid station and I walked three 60 second intervals after that, not including the last two aid stations
What would you do differently?:

not much. when i finished i thought about what i needed to tweak in my training to get faster
