3:24:39.  I went to check my splits for posting but my Garmin's battery is dead.  I will have to post splits another time.

Looking back, I am a bit disappointed in my mental discipline (nothing new here).  It was tough to really push through the end when I lacked any real goal.  Realistically I should have probably toughed it out to come in sub 3:20, but essentially I quit.  However, on the positive side, I did not taper and have been logging more miles that ever before, so I am pleased with the progress.

 It was good to meet Cal and talk with Andy.
