Dropped may bag at 6:40 and ate a banana. Walked to corral 4 at 6:50.

Comments:

I was nervous because of the stomach thing, and this was my first full marathon. Left my garmin in the car like an idiot, but it really wasn't that big of a deal. I found some people running the same pace and stayed with them. I felt good until about mile 21, then I got tired. Started feeling a little dehydrated about mile 23, then a little crampy on mile 24. The last one was a bit of a death march.
What would you do differently?:

Not get sick the day before
Post race
Warm down:

A friend of mine did the half, so after I got my head together, we headed downtown. We picked up some growlers and then had lunch at B&D burgers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inexperience and dehydration.

Event comments:

Great race, it was super fun and everyone I met was very positive. Good first marathon for me.

After you have established the Ironman goal, the most important factor outside of the training is which race to choose? What is your best sort of course, hilly, rolling, flat?
