Final word on the marathon

Final (maybe) look at the marathon.  Since it was a two loop marathon it is easy to compare splits from one lap to the next.  Almost all of my second lap featured splits faster than the first lap.  My fastest mils of the day were 17 and 25 at 7:39.  Slowest were 1, 15, and 2 at 8:05, 8:00, and 7:59 (50’ of uphill in 1 and 2 were part of that).

Marathon splits and places

 In the Cheap Marathon results they also include your place at each of the splits.  I was pretty consistent the first lap going from 246^th to 242^nd place.  The second lap I moved up 43 spots which was a bit of a surprise.  I’m guessing that many of those were people I never actually passed (due to the time trial start).  The splits are slightly wrong with the 3 mile misplaced.  I was 23:50 at 3 but the other splits are right on for what I got on my watch.
