Only accomplishment of the day is that I didn't walk. I even failed to get a photo with Meb. Despite my terrible performance it was still a memorable experience and it was great to see Scott zip by me at mile 25. He ran an awesome race! In hindsight, I might have started too quickly but that wouldn't be the first time and I slowed it down after 3. I got into somewhat of a groove running with a big pack for about 4 miles from 7 to 11 but after that it all fell apart. I was dropped from the pack and couldn't muster up anything to latch on to seemingly hundreds of people who were passing me. Every ounce of energy was left trying not to walk up Heartbreak Hill and from there I dizzily and very slowly found my way to the finish. It could have been worse I suppose but it should have been a lot better. 'Til next time.
Half: 1:11:30, Finished 2:36:46. That sums it up pretty well.
I refuse to do the math for the 2nd half split :)
