Thought I could run near 2:52, so I'm somewhat disappointed with my result. Start - 10k: Started easy just in front of the 3:00 group, which went out a little faster than their expected 3 hour pace. Went through 1ok in 40:51 (6:34 pace). Felt fine. 10k - half: a full bladder forced me to take a bathroom break in an alley, so I lost a minute their, but it was a nice break. Overall, this break did not affect my time. Went through half at 1:27:00 (6:38 pace). Still felt fine, and had made up much of my 1 minute potty break. half - 20miles: Went though the last of my four Roctane Gu Gels at mile 18 on schedule, since the course supplied Gu at mile 19.

Throughout the rest of the race intermittent cramps plagued by left and right hamstrings. 20 miles -finish: My pace in these miles fell to 7:07. A couple of these miles were at 7:20. Much of the slowdown was due to hamstring clutching. I managed to stave off the complete lockin
