Really cool little Saturday night marathon in Hamilton, OH. Start time 6pm, with a small number of entrants in full marathon (72 finishers). 4 loops on a paved course along the river. Got dark for last lap. The whole course is lit up - pretty cool.
Felt decent for most of the race aside from eating a little too soon up before the race. Small pasta bowl 2 hours before... Had some pretty bad side stitches in the last 10k.
6:36, 51,, 52, 49, 48, 52, 48,42,48, 51,52, 54, 48, 48 -- Half split in 1:29 - Sitting in 5th place
49, 51, 48, 47, 57, 54, 58, 7:04, 7:10, 7:37, 8:02, 7:52, 1:26 for 0.2 - passed two guys on last lap, but, only saw one of them...
Decent time, 3rd place, and a BQ for my oldness - 3:02:48
