Finished my marathon. 5 hrs 15 min. Had a to walk most of the last 2 miles due to really bad calf cramps. Mentally I was great the whole time.
Ran a bit with a guy that was an Ironman, Ultra runner and coached the NC State Tri team for 4 years. He was a 3:30 marathoner and finished this race in 5 hrs. Said the race was equal to a 33 mile road race. Another guy from Hawaii told me that it would hard to find a tougher race unless I did Pike's Peak.
Legs are sore today but nothing too bad. Think Im going to try an ultra next year.
Any issues with your feet?

not really.:crossfingers: they've felt a little "tired" and achey some afternoons, but pretty good compared to what I was feeling. def not where I want to be going into the race. I'm gonna shoot for a 31 flat and hope I can knock off a minute+ on the swim and bike legs.

The ultra guy I ran part of the way with told me about a race up the road from me called the Hellgate 100. 100k race that starts at midnight and the cutoff is 6 PM. Takes place in February and it is mandatory that you wear glasses. At night you only blink half as much and combined with the cold temps your corneas will freeze if you dont wear glasses. That is insane.
