Hartford Marathon (10/13/07)

I started out following the pace group which was targeting a 3:15 finish time which is equivalent to a 7:26 min/mile pace. Our group cruised through the 10 K mark in 45:11 (7:17 pace) and knocked off 10 miles in 1:13:06 (7:19). At about mile 16 I faded from the pack and hit the 20 mile point at 2:30:39 (7:32). After mile 20 I hit the wall and schlepped my way in for a finish time of 3:36. I placed 372nd out of 1,571 runners.

Here I am leading the race... just kidding.
