CONGRATS!! That's a wonderful first-time marathon time, especially given the bonk (and I do appreciate you not whining about the headwind, but it probably DID slow you down). Your description of this race reminds me a lot of how I felt after Top of Utah last year: slower than I wanted, bonk, but I was still elated at the finish line.<br /><br />Now you know what it's all about, and you can regroup.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550658883927030586.post-48680285350806031742012-06-26T12:18:57.303-07:002012-06-26T12:18:57.303-07:00Yes, added more knowledge into the hopper!

Congrats on a solid finish! Considering...Whoo hoo!<br /><br />Congrats on a solid finish! Considering how fast you went and how late in the game you faded..you did well and learned a ton for next time. You don't mention the temps...?? They have a huge effect.<br /><br />The marathon is complicated and hard to optimize compared to short races.. But the flip side is that any finish still feels pretty darn good 8)<br /><br />Gradually you will put all the elements of training and racing together and get the fastest time your body and mind have in you. That will be the frosting on the cake(s). <br /><br />Re: the sleeping the night before...that's a problem a lot of us have ..it's the day before the day before's sleep that I try to optimize.<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy the post-marathon glow...... you'll know your hooked when you sign up for the next one ...8)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.com
