Notes
T38: Apparently I misunderstood the race website. It said that route race support existed for 6 hrs. Thereafter, runners would have to move to the sidewalk if they want to finish the race. So, no water, gel, etc, but you can finish the race. I knew I could do the race in 6 hrs. I've done so in the past. My knee was feeling good today--for the first time in a very long time, so I could have pushed it. But since I thought I had no reason to push my knee to it's limits, I thought I'd take my time. I could push for 6 hrs., but there didn't seem to be a need to do so. So I just moseyed on for 6.33 hrs. Toward the last 4 miles, a lot of dead time was looking at the map and trying to figure out where I was. At that point, I was running with a few other runners. All of us were under the same impression--that our time would count. I don't even remember if I ran over a timer. I saw the overhead clock, and turned off my Garmin. I never even noticed if the timing pad was on the ground. What a waste. I could have gone faster--or not have chose this race as my last marathon. Total disappointment !!
