Marathon Splits

For those that are interested, my mile splits from Sunday:

1) 11:18 2) 11:12 3) 11:15 4) 11:44 (up the bridge) 5) 10:09 (down the bridge) 6) 11:18 7) 14:49 (pit stop #1) 8) 10:50 9) 10:58 10) 11:09 11) 11:39 12) 11:14 13) 11:09 14) 19:51 (pit stop #2) 15) 10:38 (too fast! oops) 16) 11:55 17) 13:26 (the walking begins) 18) 12:02 19) 13:08 20) 14:45 21) 15:07 (visit with family) 22) 14:51 23) 17:34 (pit stop #3) 24) 13:35 25) 15:42 26) 13:43 .2) 3:19 What amazes me is that while I felt like I was crawling in those last few miles, I was still moving along pretty quickly - my longest non-pit-stop mile was only 15:42! That's not bad at all. Also, my second half only took me about 40 minutes longer than the first half. Again, for as bad as I felt? Not bad. Not bad at all. And I was running a pretty good, steady, controlled race until it started to fall apart (not as steady as it could be, but not all over the place, either). So, for the next one, I just need to work on being able to hold on to that steady and controlled pace for more than 16 miles.
