He worked his way back up to 3rd, but his time nowhere near reflected his pace (he averaged 6:10, so would have been 2:42ish, but instead had a 2:53 with the extra distance).<br /><br />You ran smart! It's hard not to force the pace but especially in that weather it wasn't the day to do it.Sara Ibbetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186583699282775885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941638341996581349.post-4990625835263480202018-10-22T14:27:04.942-07:002018-10-22T14:27:04.942-07:00I felt so bad for him!I felt so bad for him!Sara Ibbetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186583699282775885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941638341996581349.post-54809986081163636372018-10-22T11:38:01.741-07:002018-10-22T11:38:01.741-07:00I saw on facebook that Scott had been led off cour...I saw on facebook that Scott had been led off course.

I was ...Thanks, I was really pleased with the race. I was tempted to try to force a pace out of my current ability but I was proud of myself for running smart instead!<br /><br />I can't imagine running a marathon alone! Thomas was so glad he and Jack had chosen to run it together since it was so spread out. I saw Scott placed 3rd but had no idea he was lead off course, that sucks! Was he in first place at the time? It was hard to follow course markers with the rain because we couldn't see some of them!Liz Runningmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437872032928853655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941638341996581349.post-34284568180772729162018-10-21T13:53:16.676-07:002018-10-21T13:53:16.676-07:00You had an amazing race all-considering! It's...You had an amazing race all-considering! It's crazy how much difference our bodies being a little off can make; running that close to your PR on a problematic glute and hamstring is really amazing (not to mention in a downpour for awhile!)! I am also really glad you're getting it rehabbed and it's responding well. <br /><br />That is a small marathon, so I can see how they ended up running alone. I ran 20 miles of it completely alone (after the half split off) when I ran it! Congrats to Thomas on his first marathon, although I hope he gets the bug and it's not his only. :-) Did you know Scott Chichon (from Pitt) got led off the course by one of the lead cyclists and ended up running about 1.5 miles extra and still got 3rd overall?!<br /><br />I think you're in a really good spot for your marathon in a few weeks!Sara Ibbetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186583699282775885noreply@blogger.com
