Comments:

Awesome! The last 3 miles were TOUGH! Killer hill at mile 24. For my first marathon I was pleased with my result.
What would you do differently?:

Gotta keep my head in it and keep running at the end of the race. I feel like I stopped to walk a few too many times in the last 3 miles. Not that I was winded or out of breath, just that my legs and hips were shot. More run training will help to make these muscles stronger.

Not enough.

Not enough calorie intake during the race.
