    Very happy with my race today, starting with the 3:45 pace group, but moving up a bit as my heart rate was cooperating. My fueling strategy (involving pancakes from pamelas for lunch yesterday, and 10 gels on course), worked out pretty well, as I didn't bonk at 20 like I've done on prior races. Finished in 3:44:16, maintaining a consistent 8:30-8:35 pace for much of the race. Given the impending summer heat, I'll hold off until January (Disney) for my next full marathon. Didn't run into @Training2BeFast or @SonicDeathMonkey80 at the start this morning as they were likely in the A/elite corral given their half paces, but hope their races went well.

    5/2 - 2 miles
    5/3 - 26.2 miles (3:44:16 total time @ 8:34 pace)

    Total: 28.2 miles
    Goal: 100 miles
    Remaining: 81.8

    I was in corral D drinking beer and wine on the course :) congrats, and good strategy and excellent finish time given the heat you dealt with!

    Beautiful weekend, but NO real running for me. Over the course of 3 days I have managed to bust my calorie budget in excess of 3,500 net - aggregate - at least a whole lb - who knows the real total because I have no idea all of the food I ate >:) after indulging in many high calorie, zero nutrition alcoholic drinks. HOWEVER, I would do it all over again for the wonderful time that was had: great weather, OUTSTANDING music at Memphis' Beale Street Music Fest, memorable time with a friend! Sometimes living life is more important than logging meals or meeting exercise goals :)
