A little disappointed. The biggest problem was my training - did not have enough weekly base mileage.
At 1/2 way point, I was feeling very good so I took off. Right away, I could not continue and slow down - walked a lot on mile 18. Recovered and ran another 4 miles to mile 22.
After that, my calf started to hurt and I lose the willing to run. Knowing I will finish under 5 hours, I was happy just to walk like everyone around me. Started to run again at last mile and finished the race running strong.
I did finish my first marathon after only two years of physical exercises. Will run again next year,
