Looking at this blog, he must be really bad at math.In the Philly Marathon section, he states:"After the 20 mile mark and turnaround on Main street it was back onto Kelly Drive. My legs were very tired at this point, but my breathing was strong and I wasn't sweating at all. I finally looked at my GPS watch and saw that I was not far from another BQ!"His splits are here: http://live.xacte.com/templates/philadelphiamarathon.com/for-runners/race-resultsHis 30K split (18.642 miles) was 2:34:32 - 8:17 paceTo BQ with a 3:25 he needs to be at 7:49 pace. At this point he's nearly 30 seconds per mile off pace, but considers himself to be "not far from another BQ!"He needed to be 2:25:45 to be on BQ pace - almost 9 minutes off pace. He would need to run the last 7.5+ miles in 6:40 pace to BQ at that point.Alas, "Then, around mile 22 I had to use the bathroom…and that crushed any chance of a BQ. Bummer :(" If not for having to use the loo, he would have had ANOTHER BQ.
