cool down till hit 17 miles.  This is where I started to tank.  I CANNOT figure out marathon nutrition.  These gels are making me SO sick.  I totally tanked after the 2nd 20 minutes and it was totally nutrition related.  Ughhh.... and my high hamstring got aggrivated.  Grrrrr......

Recovery mode.  Everything felt good but my high hamstring.  Feeling grumpy about it.

But I did try out my new winter fleeced lined tights and they were SO warm.  YES!!!!
