Will - update race time and place spots - when they post the results. Time is off of my Garmin for now (which I forgot to stop at the finish)..
Marathon, marathon - today was pretty cool in that my four brothers ran the marathon today - 3 of them were 1st timers - They all hit their goal times so, that was very cool. The coolest part of the day actually. G-Doc, HD, Duke, and Fred.
As for my race - I've been battling IT band issues the last few weeks so, I knew it would be a suffer fest from the go. It began to ache almost immediately, but I tried to just ease back and get into a rhythm - wanted to break 3:40, but once I hit the downhill in the canyon I knew my leg wasn't going to let me run it out - so just maintained the pace. It's an odd sensation when one of your legs wants to burn it and the other is saying whoa... Any who - happy with the race and the time. Glad I decided to run - perfect day!!
