Just texted with my brother a bit.  Apparently the hills are hard - I had told him not to worry about them, oops - and it was very warm.  He said he was shivering from the heat (? sounds like heat exhaustion/dehydration) before the halfway point.  He's doing alright now, I think.  Just a couple minutes off his PR on pretty limited training.  

Forgot that his GF was running it, too.  She's had some knee issues, but ran a 3:44.  Slowed a bit from HM-30k but stabilized for the finish.

Great job tracking these folks, Ounce! Lots of sub-3s and one so close it hurt!

Cheers to everbody still out there.

At the 40K mark:
Miche1e - 3:42:06, 9:25 pace (faster -8 seconds over 35K mark)
edit:  Projected finish of 3:54:18


Mike, yeah, I'd say he is negatively affected due to the heat.  Hope he got some help.

At the FINISH:
Miche1e - 3:56:01, 9:00 overall pace

[ounce]

At the 30K mark:
Kelli - 3:28:50, 12:25 pace (slower +40 seconds over 25K)


Steve Foster has probably pulled up lame.  He was projected to cross the finish line at 2:08 ET or about an hour ago.

[ounce]

At the 35K mark:
Kelli - 4:11:46, 13:50 pace (doing her best to finish)

[ounce]

It's been an hour and 15 minutes, Kelli hasn't hit the 40K mat, yet.

I don't hold out any hope for Steve.

Thanks for the tracking Doug.  I wasn't able to follow during the race but it was fun to come back in and get a blow by blow.

Nice races all!

Hope Kelli is OK...

[ounce]

I PM'd John on Facebook and he says that Kelli finished in 5:08:xx.  He says she hooked up with a ~58 lady who finally qualified and they were doing a Galloway run/walk.

Thanks for the update Doug.

And thanks again for the tracking...

Congratulations everyone!

Great job, everyone! And thanks to Doug for keeping track of you all. He'd make a good sheepdog.

[Michele "1L" Keane]

Thanks all for tracking.  It was quite warm out there and I struggled to stay hydrated as it was also very dry.  Stomach was not happy and was forced to make a code brown stop just after Heartbreak Hill.  Kept thinking I could out run it, but nope.  Stopped to grab a drink from my daughter around mile 24 and then just willed myself to the finish as the wheels fell off around Fenway and I went up on blocks.  Not my worst and not my best and I was pleased for holding it all together in what felt very, very warm to someone coming out of a mild, but not warm winter.  My 50th marathon is complete!  I ran another sub-4, a BQ (for my old and new AG), and I'll be back.  I was due an ok race and I got it.

Nice job, Michele and a big congrats on completing your 50th!  You have no idea how badly I want to run that race next year.  I'm rehabbing the knee and have my fingers crossed it will hold up.

I'm curious about whether you maintained your fat-adapted state prior to the marathon?  If so, how do you think it helped or hurt during the race?

Gratz on your 16th Boston, too!!

I did Doug - and I think I ran out of fuel.  I also think my bathroom issue was due to taking in gels like I normally do.  Always a work in progress!!

I wouldn't say that you ran out of fuel, rather your adaption was not deep or long enough to see you through the race.  You probably needed to train in a deeper adapted state than you did.  You had enough fat cells to see you through the race.  I can't speak to the GI issue.  But it truly is a work in progress.
