    Thanks All! I was actually thinking of stretching it out to be my first 50k. I did an extra 2 miles at the front end of the event (maybe why I bonked a bit)...but then didn't have any juice at the end to add 2 more for 30.2! Fail. ;-)

    It looks like that extra 2 miles beforehand used up too much of your glycogen.

    I look forward to the day when I run 2 extra miles before my marathon and am disappointed with a near sub 4 hour time!

    Way to go Chris!! I was wondering about the 2 miles. My Garmin is usually off a 1/4 but not 2! 2 miles before the marathon and still had 4:39 for the 28 --- that is outstanding.

    sounds like a blast of an event - what state are you counting it for?

    That's my West Virginia marathon, Rob. I ran the Derby Festival marathon back in April to get the bluegrass state checked off. ;-)
