This is what I wrote after running: Felt pretty good till around 17. Held back at first, but did get caught up in it and paid for it later. Obviously, mileage (lack of) was a major factor for last 1/3 of race. Liked the race. Very happy it is over. Now some more comments looking back: I was very worried about this marathon. It was the first after the stroke. I had trained pretty good up to April, but then I had the set back which really messed up my training and was pretty much like starting over again. So I decided to do the race as a run and just feel how it went. Splits: 1 - 7:25 2 - 7:06 3 - 7:12 4 - 6:21 5 - 6:47 6 - 6:58 7 - 6:52 8 - 7:01 9 - 6:58 10 - 6:48 11 - 6:37 12 - 4:43 13 - 7:19 14 - 6:31 15 - 6:23 16 - 6:48 17 - 6:45 18 - 7:29 19 - 7:05 20 - 8:42 21 - 9:58 22 - 9:25 23 - 7:49 24 - 8:43 25 - 9:38 26 - 10:26 .2 (my GPS actually must have been off because it measured the last bit as .39) - 4:07 |
