Wow, what a blow up. I came into the race thinking I had a shot at 1st in AG and an even better shot at top 3.  By mile 17 the 800lb gorilla jumped on my back and I had to carry him to the finish line.  Resorted to a run/walk combo at about mile 25.  At mile 13 I was 1:47 so I figured by then I was looking at a 3:45ish finish at best which really didn't sound good to me at all.  I guess the training you do Jan - May does not hold through July 25th. I'm being sarcastic but I thought I had at least a 3:30 in the bag coming into this.  It's the 4th time I've done this marathon so I know what it's all about. I was humbled by the dragon and probably disrespected the distance a little bit on top of that.  I though I had done some adequate downhill but I didn't.  I did do a great job with heat training, heat was not an issue at all today, I just lost my legs.

This race killed me.  I haven't felt this bad physically for a long time.  I'm hurting mentally too.  DNF Ogden (Hypothermia) Did okay at Utah Valley (BQ'd) and got it handed to me today by the marathon dragon!

Got to find a way to rebound for Big Cottonwood.

Oh, I almost forgot.  When I got home and told my wife my time she laughed at me!  Just a little anecdote for how ridiculous this race turned out for me.
