St George Marathon... What can I say... missed qualifing by 4 seconds!!

Splits: 7:42, 7:33, 7:27, 7:20, 7:22, 7:14, 7:09, 8:18, 7:56, 7:45, 7:50, 7:29, 7:23, 7:40, 7:09, 7:20, 7:08, 7:36, 7:48, 7:43, 7:11, 7:52, 7:40, 7:42, 8:56, 8:58, last 0.2 mile @ 6:51.

But... I sprinted the last 0.3 miles after I realized I was not going to make it... I pucked at the finish, collapsed, told a volunteer off, collapsed again, and walked off the finish line by my own power.

My friend Aaron Mettler won the race today!! I am very happy for him!
