ssj3goten Extreme Angler Registered: 03/05/08 Posts: 1575 Loc: MS	Finished the marathon on Sunday and boy it did not go well. Started off nicely mile 1 was an easy 8:03 mile 3 right at 24:00/ 5K 25:00. At the 1 hour mark I was at 7.3 miles. 10 miles at 1:20 so right on pace for what I wanted. Then it went downhill rather quickly. Mind you it was a very humid morning temps around 63F with dewpoint 60-62F. The route splits and by mile 11.5 or so I start getting passed by alot of people and relize something is not right but I kept pressing got to the 13.1 at 1:54 still ok but 13 mins off of the half I ran 3 weeks ago. At mile 14 it was over both lower quads cramped up and I kept pushing til I couldn't move. I tried to loose them up and then my hamstring cramped up. From mile 14-26 it was a lot of walking and some jogging. I finished in 5:13. So I am happy I finished but mad at being dehydrated and cramping. My fitness was fine and mentally I wanted to run but the cramps were awful. probally 40% of people I saw cramped up.

I didn't think it would affect me that much when I finished my first half, but I actually cried. You work so hard for something and then finally accomplish it that it can be pretty overwhelming. Congrats on all your had work. Let us know how it goes! _________________________

Icepick® TFF Celebrity Registered: 09/10/03 Posts: 8952 Loc: Bremond, Tx.	Originally Posted By: ssj3goten Running my first marathon on Sunday!!!! Been training for months so ready to get the run started and over with. My longest run was 19 miles in 2hr 35min. Did a test run with a half marathon about 3 weeks ago and got a PR of 1:41 so hoping the weather works with me but not looking great. Humid, cloudy, drizzly which I hate. Hoping for 3:50-4:00. I would need to hold a 8:50-9:00 min per mile which is slower than training pace so I will see how I do Sunday My little sister has been running in marathon's for about 20 years and loves it. She's ran in the Boston as well as a few other famous marathons. She'll be running in the one down in San Antonio this weekend. Good luck. _________________________ This thread needs more cowbell ...
