hey guys, was just peaking around here and saw this. i ended up running a 2:48:59 on sunday. was on pace for a 2:45-46 for most of the way, but crashed and burned in the last 5k..more specifically the last 2.2 miles. probably went out a little to fast and should have readjusted my strategy given the conditions, but i am content with my first marathon experience. had three goals heading in: 1) sub-2:45, 2) top 400, and 3) boston qualifier.
ended up finishing 184th overall, so hit 2 out of 3. overall it was an unbelievable experience and i look forward to the next one. see you all at the senior bowl.
