21-26.2 close. 

I’ll write more later, but this was a good race. I executed coach’s plan well, missed the move by John Korir around mile 20 and tried to catch up, but couldn’t. Maybe if I went with it I end up 2nd, or maybe I end up 5th. We expected it would take a 63:30 second half to win or podium if the pace was normal during the first half, so I knew I was still in good shape after I couldn’t cover the move. 

After I battled a pack of three for the runner-up position, but didn’t have the kick in the last 0.2 that I would need to podium. Grateful for those who cheered, my family and friends who supported me, and all those who follow along.
