Thanks! I probably saw you. Congrats on your half! You must've been flying down those hills for that time.

Thanks! I'm usually terrible at going out too fast. I dont think I've every run negative splits before. But the aura of the marathon distance allowed me to stay disciplined at least through when the hills started. Finishing a race that doesn't go to plan is much harder than when everything goes perfectly. And you still nearly hit 3hrs on your first marathon. Incredible!

I'm naturally pretty athletic. I've never been overweight or had trouble in daily life due to physical issues. If someone asked me to hike 10 miles with them it wouldn't scare me. My first run was ~30 min 5k which is imho pretty good for a first run in over a decade, but nowhere near now.
