I have definitely had better race days. Ran the first 12-13 miles pretty good and then just bonked. I am not quite sure what the deal was. I was even able to take gu which i haven't done in the last two 13+ mile races. 2:14:16 on my watch, the official clock was 2 minutes fast. no mile markers for the twenty so thank goodness for the garmin.
1-6:25 2 5:56 3 6:07 4 6:20 5 6:33 6 6:18 7 6:46 8 6:25 9 6:51 10 6:05 11 6:24 12 6:23 13 6:41 14 7:00 15 6:55 16 7:30 17 8:01 18 7:19 19 7:22 20 6:45
I really had to try hard the last mile to not get passed by the fourth place finisher. This was still the fastest i have ever ran 20 miles but it wasn't what i was shooting for. I might need to re evaluate how fast i go out in the marathon. If this would have a been a marathon, i would have really been in big trouble.
