I made to the finish line. I had a great run up to about the 25-27km. I was doing a 4:45/km but I could not hold on to this. At the 33km I was taking a 30-40 second walk every km. I did run the last km and made it across the finish line. I was aiming for a 3h 20m, this would have been a Boston qualifing time but it was not to be. Next Year!!! I did expect to finish 3h 45m and was under this. Over all I am very happy with this.

I had a great run and as you can see I was 38th out of 115 in my division 40 - 49 and 87 out of 273 in all males, and was in the top 110 to finish.

A big thanks to Mom for her support and for coming out to see me cross the line.

Take Care,

Mike
