Run
Comments: Very poor performance at the race today. My legs just didn't have it and I started slowing down considerably at mile 15. By mile 19 the wheels fell off and I was into double digit pace for the remaining miles. Had to stop and walk on the numerous steep uphills in the last few miles. My Garmin had the mileage at .4 mile longer than the standard 26.2. The family got antsy waiting by the finish as I came in about a half hour later than when I told them to start looking for me... What would you do differently?: Probably start the run a little slower. Post race
Warm down: Found my family and got something to eat. After watching the kids play at the playground in the finishing area, headed over to the YMCA where they were allowed the marathon runners to take showers at no charge. What limited your ability to perform faster: The hills at the end of the race Last updated: 2009-09-27 12:00 AM

Woke up early and ate pasta. Then left the hotel and headed to the XL Center, which was next door; and picked up my race packet. I love it when races have race day packet pickup, when I'm traveling to a destination race. Went back to hotel to confirm with my wife where we'd meet up set off for the race, which was 2 blocks from the hotel.
As per my usual, none whatsoever.
