Running 26.2 miles was very hard work, much harder than any triathlon I completed. My legs didn't like the last 5 miles and it showed in my split times. I was doing well with my pacing at the start of the race and ran the half-marathon about 15 minutes faster than my finishing time at the ODDyssey half-marathon. After running past the art museum the runners ran out Kelly drive towards Manayunk where the runners made a turnaround and ran back to the finish line. With the out and back run on Kelly Drive I could see how many people were ahead of me and it looked like the whole city of Philadelphia was ahead of me. I kept checking my watch and there was still a chance I could finish under four hours but I didn't make it in time.
