UPDATE: I knew these numbers sounded too good. Final results are up.
233rd of 1,747 men 30-34 (13.3%).
1,312d of 11,294 men (11.6%).
1,609th of 19,112 finishers (8.4%).
Still a bit better than last year...
---------------------
I beat last year's time by eight minutes.
3:42:20
234th of 1744 30-34 year old fellas (13.4%, relatively).
1311th of 16546 fellas of all ages (7.9%).
1067th of 27891 finishers (5.7%).
But I ran stupid. Much too fast for the first seventeen or eighteen. Started horrid blisters on both feet at mile 10. That's a new experience. Hit the wall around mile 22. Had to walk a number of times between 22 and the end. I'm happy about the fact that I picked it up and actually ran the last 1.2 without any stopping.
Perfectly satisfied with my finish time, but a lame way to get it done.
Just like last year, I'll let Natalie the bada$$ tell her story.
Posted by dave at October 30, 2005 7:01 PM | TrackBackI checked your results last night. You guys are both totally bada$$.
One marathon down, a second, different kind of marathon, just about to wrap up in about 30 days. Now that's endurance.
