Not fasted. I was the five hour pace group leader, but I screwed up big time and finished in 5:00:37. 

This is due to me not trusting their mileage signs because last year they disagreed with my watch until pretty near the end, when I misremembered that some of the discrepancy diminished.  In reality, last year my watch claimed 26.43 miles and this year my watch claimed 26.44 miles.

This year, I ran at a consistent pace that averaged 11:25, but I didn't actually check the time of day until I was on around Sixth Street and by then I didn't have enough time to comfortably make it across the finish line close to 5:00:00, so I picked up my pace considerably but took the loss.

If I had reviewed last year and assumed that it was going to be 26.43 miles again, I'd have shot for an 11:21 pace. That's what I'll do next year, assuming I remember.  D'oh!

Whee (albeit ugh!)!
