Disappointed at NYC Marathon--Should I go back-to-back?

Good troll finish. "Got lost" on am out and back course and your watch broke. Lol. Was on pace for 3:04 but you PROMISE you would have run a 4 minute negative split. Solid.

Nice meeting you, and congrats on your run today. I'm sure there will be plenty of negative feedback, so don't listen to the trolls. You got this next time.

Nice run. You have a lot of guts.

Why were you the only person to go off course?

Was it hypoglycemia and poor cognitive function during the race which did not affect any other runners? Was it bad directions?... or maybe you didn't learn the race course before your big race.

You are going backwards. Your NYC marathon performance on a tougher course was better than this performance (even if you take 4 minutes off your time).

You just had another marathon race debacle.

What marathon race/training run are you going to run/race next weekend?

I see that the marathon humbled you...again.

Better luck next time.

Ok, it is absolutely impossible to get lost on the NCR trail. I've run on it hundreds of times.

Just what I expected...nothing but mean-spirited nonsense. AS I SAID, I FELT FINE.

To the other jerk who posted garbage, AS I SAID, the four minutes is an ESTIMATE. I made the ESTIMATE based upon about how far I think I ran off course (there and back), and by the people who I know I had passed, and where they finished.

Try using some common sense and get a life. Stop being such sullen jerks. Or, better yet, why don't you GROW SOME BALLS, and try running two marathons in a 20-day period.

Can any evidence be given that our poster actually ran/raced this 3:07 "I got lost again" marathon today?

It was harder to get lost at the NYC marathon.

Not when a policeman's car is in the intersection, partially blocking the trail, and he is there directing traffic. I AM NOT FROM THE AREA, and have NEVER run the course. It looked like the correct right turn. And perhaps after I made the mistake, how moved his car. I don't know.

You guys are really something. Unbelievable.

For proof, just ask Molkinsloth, the race director, or check the results. I would think you would have figured this out by now. This is normally how one would verify such things.

NO WAY was it harder to get lost in NYC. Not even close.

A simple glance at the course map before the race and you'd know approximately when you are turning off of a straight trail. I find it very hard to believe that a guy who keeps metrics on how many miles each shoe has and what his strides per minute are in each shoe wouldn't know the race course.

Trust me for anyone that is not knowledgable about this trail, it is a straight trail with no turns, it's impossible to get lost. I tried to to help you and suggest this marathon but I also am disheartened how you don't listen to people on this board. You are going way too fast on some of these runs, especially the long runs. If you started listening to people you'd break 3 easily. Maybe one day you will look back at all of these helpful comments and realize that everyone was right. Less work would actually yield you a better result.

Sorry, but that is what happened. I told you about the policeman and his car. Also, at that point in the race, the was no one that I could see in front of me. You were not there, yet you are an instant expert on all of the aspects of the situation.

You guys are really something. Nothing but pick, pick, pick, and sullen garbage. And yet you never discuss your PRs or give your backgrounds. Hiding something? When was the last time you did what I did?

Do you think it was easier to get lost at the NYC marathon with 50,000 other people running with you?

I think it would be more difficult to get lost during the NYC marathon.

Please explain your answer which seems wrong.

I did exactly what you did. You can look at so,e old threads. I had a goal of breaking 3 hours in NYC. Blew up mile 16 and ran a 1:28/1:41..3:09 I'm NYC.. Came back 2 weeks later in Philly and held 3:05 pace through 22 and blew up to a 3:08 which was still a PR at the time. Then finally heeded the advice on this exact forum that I was doing recovery/long runs too fast. Tweaked my tra Ning and broke 3 hours in Philly the year after my 2 in 2 weeks. You happy now?? People are just trying to help you, I am done but I was just trying to have you avoid the pitfalls I went through.

And I wasn't at NCR but it should've been very obvious you were off course, but know the trail inside out and do a lot of my training on there.

And I NEVER SAID I got lost ON THE TRAIL. You said that. I got lost because it seemed I was being directed to make a right turn.

Never. I've always been able to stay on course. I'm of average intelligence so it's not too hard for me.

Did you make that turn on the way out on the course. I've run NCR. It is impossible to get lost.

I say you bonked and are afraid to admit it.

Thanks, angryjohnny. You disagreed with my running the race and with some of my methods, but you have the decency to offer a fellow runner some words of respect.

Nice touch "getting lost" at your reentry point. My hat's off to you.
