Wow- I'm on top of the world. The race went exactly according to plan- which was to head out at an unsustainable pace... and then attempt to sustain it. That was the only way I was going to BQ- so it was a 'BQ or bust' tactic. Took in over 600KCal of gels, blocks and Gatorade, and carried extra water to keep that flowing. So, the nutrition part went well.
The pains set in as early as 12mi and by 16 I wasn't sure that I'd make 20. Every step my hammys and quads were screaming and threatening to totally shut down. By 18 it was excruciating and by 20, pyrotechnic. Somehow or other I was still able to maintain a consistent pace. the 20ft/mi steady drop between 19-22 was a godsend. Funny- this was my plan. I was expecting to spend a lot of miles inside the house of pain. At 24-I wasn't sure I'd make 25. By 25, I still wasn't sure. The leg muscles were just saying NO... but brain told them to move and move they did. Funny, after I passed 26 and knew there was only 0.2 left and I had secured that BQ... the pain went away. At least temporarily.
Took this one to the limit and didn't leave anything on the table. Nailed my McMillan prediction, took 13 minutes off last year's RnR marathon and BQed with 1:44 to spare.

Morey, this is AMAZING, I'm incredibly stoked for you. And you did it even with that dicey Plantar Fascia and Achilles tendon the last few weeks. So jazzed for you. Congrats, it's a huge testament to what a beast you are, to slog through that pain.
