Good job!

Do we get a report on how you did against the spreads?

Good job Dave, you ran a great race and reaped a nice result. The wait was brutal wasn't it? I ended up talking to a bunch of different people which made the time pass quicker and once the sun came up I moved to sit in it by the UPS trucks which kept me much warmer. It was good to meet you, hope we can do it again some time. Cheers!

congrats!

Awesome report DB. Congrats, first on the PB, and then running a pretty remarkable solid race. A marathon is never and easy distance and you have to fight, as you did, for every second.

Thanks for an amazing weekend, and we are looking forward to many more with you and CCG.

Hope you don't mind, but loved the way this quick pic turned out. Note RM in the middle

Thanks Mark. The wait was brutal indeed - I was keeping my eyes peeled in the orange lot and where our corrals joined ut did not see you.

We will do it again. I will surely be crew at a few area triathlons this summer so will be sure to hook up.

Sounds good David. Great to meet Kim, Justine and yourself, we had an absolute hoot. And I now have the Mud Puppies Run in my schedule, we'll pick things up there.

I tried to find your Sponge Bob - this guy is from the London Marathon....



Great job on running a pretty darned evenly paced race!

[Jwolf]

Your consistent training really paid off. Congratulations on a superb result. You finished strong without fading, and held on to a very consistent pace.

It sounds like the slow-downs in the crowd should be figured in to overall pacing in this race-- something for me to keep in mind for next year.

The experience brings back so many similar memories from when I did it 2 years ago.

Thanks Doonst. I just checked out your report again from itsmyrun.com - it is surprising how we noticed many of the same things.

MY SpongeBob? I looked up to him as a hero until he left me in his SpongeDust...there is now hard feelings to say the least.

Huge congrats Dave! Loved your report. It brought a big grin to my face as I recalled the race while reading yours.

It was an honour, a pleasure and a blessing to share my 1st marathon experience with you and CG. You two are awesome and we enjoyed every moment with you.

Thanks for everything and congrats again on your PB!

This is from NYC but the bib looks like another year:



I'm pretty sure my SpongeBob was built like the Hulkster circa 1985 and ran like Usain Bolt.

Here is my SpongeBob - just click on the video and look to the right-hand finishers 1 second in:
