Run
Comments: I felt pretty good for 13 miles. at about 14 I started to feel a little fatigued. at 16 I was hurting (mainly right knee). at 18 I saw my family and surged for teh mile detour through the stadium back to where they were watching. then i SLOWED down. at some point the 3:20 pace group went by -i missed them. when the 3:25 group came by with 4 miles to go I was shocked and a little sad. i struggled to keep up with them. i was really willing myself to run for the last couple miles. What would you do differently?: i know it was lack of training coupled with overoptimistic time goals that did me in. I need to set attainable goals. next year: 3:15 - 3:20 goal. Post race
Warm down: i walked a mile or so. I rode a mile. What limited your ability to perform faster: training. pacing -too fast first half. Event comments: Though I missed my time goals, I consider this a succesful race. It was my first marathon in 5 years and I had been injured limiting my training prior to last couple months.
