Comments:

The run was fun I ended up starting with a few buddies but ended up running with a girl from my church until about mile 18 she fell off then I met this dude from Canada ran with for several miles then around mile 24 bumped into a girl who trains at the same gym ended up running the last few miles with her... she qualifies for Boston with time to spare!!!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really I set a PR on this race... but I did notice all my buddies doing pre-race rituals... example: eating GU, drinking Gatorade, stretching, doing a light jog, jumping up & down, etc.... dang it I need a pre-race ritual!!!! All I do is #2...
Post race
Warm down:

sat on the ground and wept like a baby

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Around the half point I felt a blister on my right foot and at around mile 24 that blister popped almost driving me to my knees!!! I didn't want to slow so I just thought of my buddy Kevin who at the last race had blisters under his toenails!!! I forged on at the same pace

Event comments:

The drinks they past out on the course had lids & straws!!!!! And they gave us luggage tags with our medal at the finish line (that was a bit silly)

This race had a pasta feast the night before which was really good

The fan support along the course was great... more people then I would of thought

The post race food could of used some work

The race shirt I would wear in public

Course: The course was mostly in a residential part of town with plenty of shade (not that we needed it) I can't recall a hill so to me that suggest the course was flat. We had zero wind!!!!.... I talked to so many people along the way who came from all over the US & Canada to do this race!! I understand why it was well organized, flat, & fast

Stunning time. Fantastic job smashing your pb as well. Thats an incredible improvement.

I noticed you've got an error at the start of the RR. It currently says total time 7h. Unless of course you went and ran it a second time, I know a marathon is a bit on the short side for you.

Wow- awesome, awesome race!  Have you used your new luggage tag yet??

Don't worry about getting a blister uunder your toenail.  That happened to me once, and the foot doc ended up yanking my toe nail off.  No biggie

I would keep track of that chick if I were you, she works out at the same gym and from the looks of it she must be 4'6" its a dream come true! Although when you chase after her in one of your drunken/roid rages, she would easily get away.

You were married once too. now its just a matter of time. Time to be a little proactive, late night hangup calls to her house, put that picture of you two together on her husbands car with a confession that you have been seeing her for a while and you want to be the better man and tell him it won't happen again. If you want it bad enough you can't just let it come to you, do some work! Although when she comes at you with a knife, you better get in your car because you cant outrun her. Did I mention that she's actually shorter than you!

I think that anytime that somebody doesn't like you enough that they pull a knife on you, there are some serious issues with the both of you. Not that you did anything wrong necessarily, just that you drove somebody crazy enough to pull a knife. As for genny, I drove away all her other suiters with my flashy car and devil-may-care good looks. Plus when you put one of their heads in the toilet till they pass out, it gets the word out that its hands off time.
