Assuming you are being serious...as someone who is so fast...no offense, but why would you consistently run so tactically poor??? a 219 marathoner should be going out in 1640ish. And if you really went 219:35 going out in 1523, you probably cost yourself several minutes. Unless you thought you were in 209 shape, that's just an incredibly freshman in hs type mistake to make that much, and you say it as if it's normal for you and not some one off mistake....
