Comments:

Great race. I pulled my hamstring at mile 3. Sharp stabbing pain. I stretched and rubbed and got back. Pulled again in 1/4 mile. Stretched and rubbed deeper. It stopped stabbing and became a dull ache. I was fine with that this along with a head call cost around 3 minutes. Kept a good steady pace at around 9:10 for the rest of the run. Lots of free hot dogs, burgers, pulled pork and smoothies for runners at the end. Lots of water / Gatorade stops. one with gel packs.
What would you do differently?:

The race starts in the Dover Raceway. The circle for the cars is very steep. I think I hurt my hamstring by passing people on this steep angle. I would stay lower where its flatter.

I signed up for Ironman Frankfurt, next year July - and I am very excited about it. I originally planned to run my first Marathon in the middle of September, but am not sure if this is wise.

After the Marine Corps Marathon, I started developing left lower/lateral leg pain late in my marathon training and pushed through it.

I just started doing tris this summer and I have two under my belt, both sprints. Is it reasonable to build up for a Oly in early ‘09, with a HIM in Oct of ‘09

This program should be used for an athlete whose goal is to run a marathon in the 1:30-2:30 range and has a good running base in the past 8-12 weeks.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
