another marathon down

well, i didn't get faster despite logging my two first sub 2h half-marathons this season. i think i came in around 4.40 clock time but can't be sure as my watch wouldn't let me time myself and my bib never got registered at the start.

overall, i'm quite pleased that i can get myself to run solid 2k at the very end despite having some stomach issues from 24-35k. i can't say it was the powerbar endurance drink as the aid stations ran out of it. i did try to make sure i had my sports jelly beans but maybe they weren't helping. it was a good thing i took a salt pill because i was sweating like crazy by 9k. and i have some really good tan lines now. good thing i stuck some sunscreen on before going out.

will have to do some more mileage to get ready for ironman china i think... but maybe i can cop out and do the half instead! :) but no... maybe not.
