Well, my day pretty much sucked. I’m still waiting for the official results, but I’m somewhere between 5:27 and 5:35. Details to follow – but suffice it to say the wheels started coming off the bus around mile 17 or so.
But – this much I will say. In my opinion, this was the. best. course. ever.
Once again – more to come in the next day or two.
When the website quite updating you after 10k, I was worried about you. Glad to see that you are okay and you finished. Looking forward to your report.
ReplyDeleteGood job Glenn!! You finished...I am looking forward to hearing all about it:)
ReplyDeleteYou finished! You are awesome. Looking forward to the full race report! Glad to hear it was the best. course. ever. I will run it next year (:
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that you finished! Woohoo! I'm looking forward to the finer details of the race! Get some well deserved rest!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Hey Glenn...I was among those getting worried when I didn't get any updates after 10K...so I was thrilled when I read on twitter that someone had seen you and you had finished. I think my husband and kids think I really am your stalker because I shrieked "Hooray Glenn!" and did a fist-bump when I read it...then I had to explain that you are one of my blog-friends to their curious looks... LOL.
ReplyDeleteSo congrats on finishing. I don't care what anyone says finishing 26.2 is a huge feat no matter what! There were some pretty nasty hills in the beginning there. It may have been a great course, but it was not an easy one.
Rest well tonight friend!
I can't wait to hear about the course! You finished and that's what matters...rest and relax, you've earned it!
ReplyDeleteso glad you loved the course!!! being on a bad course on a tough day is never fun. CONGRATS on another marathon finish and looking forward to the full recap!
ReplyDeleteyou were a popular guy on twitter today too... saw so many tweets looking for you so i was glad when i saw you tweet later in the day :)
Congrats on the marathon Glenn! Sorry it wasn't your day.
ReplyDeletesorry to hear things didn't quite go as planned. i didn't receive updates after the 10k either (but i did for other people). i guess i've had enough malfunction-experience with those things that i chalked it up to faulty tracking and that you were doing ok.
ReplyDeletecongrats on another marathon. take a day or two (or more) and i look forward to hearing about it!
Congratulations on finishing the Marathon yesterday. My finish was not what I was planning either, the wheels started to come off around 16. But I finished my first marathon yesterday too. Congratulations again! You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWas it the heat? It was perfect running weather here, but I know LA can be different. Looking forward to hearing all about it. And, you finished so don't knock yourself too hard, Glenn.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you powered through and finished even if it wasn't what you hoped for. Can't wait to hear about the course.
ReplyDeleteHey you finished good to keep going if the wheels fell off at 17 miles That's fighting hard for 9 miles where you aiming sub 5? well done tjough.
ReplyDeleteNice work - finisher!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it. I heard that a LOT of people had a tough day out there. It was a hot one for sure.
