I had hoped to run a 3:49:59 but it was just too hot and humid. I took 2 salt capsules (mi 7 and 13) and 7 gels the last 2 with caffeine. I just don't run as well in the heat. I settled for breaking 4 hours which I thought was doable after 15 miles. I had to push myself the last 4+ miles to do it so I'm am pleased with my run.
I got to run with/see Keith Jr., Julie, and Tiffany and Kyle while running.
My final numbers3:59:38, 14/57 age group and 948/2421 overall. 6.6 mph; considering my top speed in training is usually 7.1 short distances and 6.8 long, this is about right for me. I nearly had negative splits: 1:57:11 first half and 2:02:28 second half. It was fun and I do love it there in Burlington. Keith Jr. is talking about doing the full next year with both of us under 4 hours.
