AM - 6 Foremaster.  Hit 4x4 minutes - not as sharp as I felt yesterday; a little tightness in the hip.  But only singles from here on out, so that should help rest it (hopefully).  (Old Ohana -6)

It may seem that I am mad/upset about my race because I haven't written anything yet 0 but I am actually pretty pleased.  We had an awesome group for most of the race that really helped out.  I am just a tiny bit bummed that the wheels came off for the last 4, but that is life.  I will write the full report when I get some time.  (Mana 105.25)

I was looking back at this report for this year's marathon (2012) and saw that I never came back to update.  Pretty lame that I never did (note to self: even when upset about a race, write about it for future reference).  So I'll just add in now - a year later - the race had a good group for much of it.  It was very hot and we knew that there would be a lot of roadkill.  So we started more conservatively and slowly picked off people hitting the half just seconds under 1:16.  Before we knew it, we were headed up Winchester and in the top 10.  Ben V. went on to take 3rd, Justin took 5th (I think) and I faded back a bit through the twist and a few people picked me off and I dropped back to 12th.  I guess that I just why I was a little upset; I had a sure top 10 in my grasp until the last mile or two and just didn't hold it very well at all.
