23 miles!
First 11 uphill and very slow right around 10 minute miles. Then the next 10 miles at a few seconds faster than goal marathon pace. Then one mile of walk jogging. I stopped my watch at 22 but still was an uphill mile from home and I was spent so I walked the 23rd mile nice and slow home.
It was a warmer morning than I had hoped, upper 70s. I drank about a gallon of fluid and still lost 7 lbs on the run. I'm praying for a cold day on race day. My sweat rate is just too high to replace all the fluids I lose when it is warm even a little.
