Sat around for 1 hour waiting on awards and stuffing my face with pancakes.

Lack of training and lack of training on hills.

Good job.  I've run Topeka to Auburn and the first part is definitely not for wimps.  The weather can be a bear too!  Looks like a positive upside for your marathon training if you are at this point early in your training :-)

Do they have any 2 mile indoor races with a chili feed afterwards? I am ALL on that one (except the 2 mile running part)
