Way to "go, go, go" Bob.  That's what I found myself saying as I looked at the pictures.  Congratulations.

Competitive til the end.  Great job Bob, and congrats on the BQ.

Bob

You definately gritted your teeth  and got on with it, great report and time.
Well Done

Oh and great pics too

Hey, Bob ...great race!  You BQ'd and got a course PR!  ... not a bad day's work!  I thoroughly enjoy your detailed RRs ... you carry us along with you during the race.  The pics only add to the drama.  The course sure did sound like it had a lot of hills.  To me, even small ones, seem like mountains near the end of the marathon.

How did you feel about going out a little too fast? All said and done, do you think it affected your time much? Will you do anything differently for NY?

Congrats again, Bob! Good luck in NY!

Hi Bob,

What a greta RR - I think I held my breath and leaned into every turn up until mile 15 or 16! You did an amazing job of running, up until the mental demons crept into your head in the latter stages of the race. But to still get a course record and a BQ and to nip 333 at the finish is outstanding!

Congratulations on a fine race, and best of luck in the Big Apple. And please tell your DW that her photos are fantastic.

Good luck in New York.
