cuz you were close in your prediction in my race. I was really asking this question to advise Michael Moore a fellow Bomber, who did quite well with a 3:47:25 in his first marathon.
In my case, I ran the first 10 miles in 71+ minutes (7:06 min/mile) and the second 10 in 73+ minutes (7:18 min/mile). I felt like it was an equal effort for those 2 portions of the race. I did mile 21 in about 7 minutes. Then the wheels fell off at mile 22 and I started looking for 1 of our 2 relay team vans to pick me up. I think they saw me, snickered and took an alternate route back to the finish line.
