Felt pretty good almost all of the race. Started to get pretty tired around mile 23 but once I was in Tempe I knew I could finish under my 3:30 hour goal.
What would you do differently?:

Could have been a little more fit and not droppped those couple of minutes from mile 23 on, but for my first marathon I'll take it.

Warm down:

Enjoyed beer and watching football in Tempe!

Great job Travis. You smoked mile 7!

Next marathon you do will certainly be in range to qualify for Boston.

great job - smokin fast for your first marathon!!!  I hated the cold, but in the end, I think it was a good thing as I was NEVER dehydrated and never had to worry about water over the head, staying cool etc.  Hope you're recovering well - keep up the nice work!
