I woke up at an insane early hour this morning and went to the start line of the Marathon. It was 28 degrees. I had a singlet on and shorts. I started the race out fast but comfortable because of the cold. Mile 1:5.15, 2: 5.45, 3: 5.39, 4: 5.39, 5: 5.39, 6: 5.40, 7: 5.45, 8: 5.49, 9: 5.59, 10: 5.53, 11: 6.09, 12: 6.04, 13: 6.07, 14: 5.56, 15: 6.35, 16: 7.25, 17: 6.08, 18: 5.49, 19: 5.49, 20: 5.59, 21: ,6.26, 22: 6.27, 23: 5.53, 24: 6.38, 25: 6.47, 26: 7.27, 26.2: 3.01

I felt pretty good running this up till the hill at mile 14. I had to stop at mile 16 for a potti break that took me out of 3rd place to 5th place. When I came out of the porta potti, Tim had just passed and It took me a good .25 mile to catch him, we ran together for about a mile then I wanted to see if I could catch the 3rd place guy.  I was working hard maybe to hard and i burned myself out by mile 20. I felt perfectly fine at mile 19 then mile 20 I was in a complete different state of mind. I was fatigued and was fighting every mile from then on. The park trail was frustrating as I was all by myself and had to yell to the slower half marathon walkers that took the entire path up. I really hate that. It didnt slow me down much, but did mess with my pshychy. I had to stop for a drink which by the way gagged me severly because it had a strong hose taste to it. even the powerade had the hose taste to me. I gagged every time i had to drink. that was really the only thing i could complain about. I enjoyed the weather, not much wind, and the Jamba Juice at the end.
