Unfortunately, as the months progressed, my training, or there lack of, proved to be the downfull of my 2nd MCM ... plagued with my AT issues all year, I was able to build back up my fitness for the 1/2 marathon distance with strong efforts, but with a lack of long runs, only 2 runs over 30K+ since ATB in March, I had a feeling that it was gonna be a struggle from the get ... With an ambitious goal of 3:45:xx as a Gold, and sub 4 hour as a silver, I managed to only pickup a Bronze level with a 4:12:xx on this day ...
Managed to hit the 1/2 way mark at around 1:52:xx, but after that I just ran out of fuel, and my AT started to feel it and at the 26K mark a group of spectators decided to dash out across the road, about 3 ended up running behind me/ us and one ran straight infront of me, and I literally T-Boned her
by the 30K mark, I was just out of gas and started running 10&1's and then 5&1's over the final 10-12K ... Did not want to push the envelope so I just put it into cruise control and ran and walked when I could over the final 5-8K ...After I finished, went straight to my hotel, fortunately, it was only about a block and change away from the Finish Area, showered and changed, and had some lunch, then head back out to the Finish Line Festivities and found myself at the Michelob Beer Tent ...
I think I set a PB there, with 3 15oz of beer in about 15 minutes ... 
Anyhoo, time to rest and recover and start my final 10 weels of training for the 2010 Goofy Challenge in January ....
