RunnerSam and notarobot, thanks for the good wishes. The weather is supposed to be *chefs kiss* pretty close to perfect tomorrow morning: clear, low 40s to start and essentially no wind, in the 50s by finish. Months of worry about something I can't control has paid off ;-)
Good luck and have a great race! Also best wishes to Jecht at Columbus.h
Thank you DarkWave!
As noted by others here, I went out too fast (1:33) and came home in 1:46 to finish 3:20:01. Still a modest PR. Would have been nice to run 3:19:59 (2 seconds faster).
I'm actually now ok about what happened and found some positives:
1) I ran a 1:33 half and could have gone even faster had I just ran the 13.1 (1:31-1:32). I already know where I need to improve; it's a simple tweak.
2) I know to stick to my original plan next time.
3) Looking at my splits on Strava, I was able to hold 7:05 pace through 18 (2:07:24), 7:09 pace through 20 (2:23:11) and 7:13 pace through 24 (2:46:39). The only truly bad miles were 8:49, 9:00, 9:03 for miles 24, 25 and 26. So I have some fitness still in me.
Already signed up for the 2/6 Dublin 26.2-mile loop marathon a few minutes from my apartment. Taking a few days off from running just to be absolutely safe I recover properly.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
