In porti-potty line until 6:52 and then a late start. Fast 2 mile warm up and I recovered well. First 5 miles faster than I planned but I was OK. By mile 8 I was uncomfortable but kept saying I needed this for Boston 2018. Mile 10 was pushing harder than I thought I would have before race. I didn't talk as much as usual. By mile 14 pushing!!! At mile 20 uncomfortable. By mile 22 I knew I was on target for 4 hours and by mile 24 I knew if I stayed mentally tough I would make it!
4:00:21 final 9:39 faster than Boston qualifying time! 2018 im books. THIS is a great BQ, with all the Ultras and mile this year I definitely thank GOD for all the miles and the help to persevere.
