Not much to my story. This was my second marathon ever, last year being my first.
I finsished the second half much stronger than last year and ended up dropping 18
minutes off last year's time. I was very pleased and ready to go again for next year :-)

I was ahead of the 4.00 pace group until mile 19, and then saw them slowly moving
ahead of me. My time was a 4.13 - 3 min. slower than last years, but I still feel good.
This year my quads cramped around the last 4 miles. Was it the heat? Who knows? Our
youngest Austin Fit runner (I think she's the youngest), Jocelyn Spataro, finished 4th
in her age group doing a 3.57.51. She was going for a 3.45, but I think the heat got
her too. She still looked pretty cute when she crossed the finish line! Thanks again
for another great year of training, running and sharing :).

I don't want to write a lot about yesterday, I am already trying to repress the
memories! In a nutshell, it was a very bad day for me. Legs felt great, but sinus
problems and the heat and humidity got the best of me. My chip time was 50 minutes past
the goal I set for myself.
Not everything was negative about yesterday. I actually finished, which didn't seem like
a sure thing the last half of the race. And for the first time I had no problem visiting
the Mile 25 beer stop......nothing like a cold beer while you're bonking!
