Pretty decent 22-miler and then a beautiful 4 mile walk along the river - oh well. Opted for DNF since just finishing was never a goal. Was on goal pace thru about 16 and still on BQ pace thru 20, but then my preconception of blowing up after 20 came to fruition. Onward to 5k and shorter training.

Sorry to hear Doug - anything in particular cause you problems - weather etc - or just a bad time to bonk?

Plenty of excuses, but mental midgetry for the most part. Definitely warmer than hoped, and very crowded narrow course with way way too many marathon relay team runners. None of that would have mattered if not for my self fulfilling prophecy of losing it after twenty. I'm glad I made the effort. Thanks for the encouragement.

Sorry Doug.

Aw - that's being too harsh on yourself. Sounds like a good effort up until that point - just came up a little short. Much easier to focus on races shorter than marathons. Rest up and put that good training to work when the weather cools off back home. Safe travels.
