Finally did it! 6:50 avg pace progression. I started late so it was pretty hot out by about mile 7. I changed the path so the 40 minutes fast were on a tough uphill. Last time for the three 40 minute segments I averaged 7:40's, 6:50's, and 6:20's. This one I averaged 7:20's, 6:40's, and 6:30's. I should have gone slower at the beginning. Really wanted to quit those last 30 minutes but I toughed it out. I had a Gu this time, around mile 8, which tasted pretty good, but after I finished I drank a ton and threw up and it was nasty. I just drank probably a liter of Gatorade and I think I'm gonna throw up again. Weighed myself after. About 5 pounds lighter than I've ever seen myself.
