Race: Ogden Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:22:33

Target time was 3:12, stayed under that pace thru 19 miles  (but realistically I was feeling early signs of fatigue and accompanying negative thoughts by the halfway mark...)  At 19 miles shifted gears into 'stay under 8 minute miles' mode...  (this worked until mile 23).  shifted gears again to 'just don't walk' mode...  completely drained of energy, maybe a bit dehydrated too, last 3.2 miles were very very tough physically and mentally...  thought i heard my name called out by someone during last half mile, but not completely sure... happy to cross the line and be done.

Analysis:

Insufficient downhill training.  Insufficient long runs.  Ten pounds heavier than at SGM.  Mini-taper only.  Should have backed off pace more in the first half.  Inadequate number of Gels?  (4 total, at 5, 9, 13, 18 miles)

Regardless it was a good training run.  Will be better trained and better prepared for next one!

Time to get back on the horse...
