Notes:

Disaster!!!! well kind of, I'm fine, I'm not even in that much pain, I just did allot of stupid things. I finished almost 1 hour over my dream time and about 45 minutes over my "realistic" goal time. I am going to write a blog about it, but I need to hit the showers.

Here are the official results. http://results.active.com/pages/searchform.jsp#VIEW

Check back in for the long and tragic story that was my the "Learning experience" of my first marathon.

I'm sorry you didn't do as well as you hoped but even 4.5 hours is pretty impressive. That's a solid run for 26 straight miles.
