I thoroughly enjoyed the training for this race, and successfully finished ahead of my tertiary goal  :)  The primary (3:25) and secondary (3:30) goals slipped away about 23 miles in when cramping set in just above my right knee.  Each time I would try to press the pace back down to where I might be able to sneak under 3:30, the leg would complain mightily - ah well.  Not gonna stress over what may have caused it, I think I was well trained and well hydrated/fueled, so I'm cool.  I do know that I never really got the weight down to where it should be for me to run a marathon.  No plans to jump into thinking about another anytime soon, but won't rule it out for the future.  Lisa, Cynda and Trav all were on the course all morning and supported me well - that was fun.
