Some days everything comes together, this was one of them.  The weather held out, overcast most of the race w/ some sun breaking through in places.  No rain, or fog, but the road and cobblestones were a bit slick in the morning.

Told my self that I was just going to run comfortable, really suprised myself when I realized what my average pace was and how good it felt (7:30 per mile).  Previous PR was 4:45 @ the Prauge marathon earlier in the year.

Was saving my last Hammer Gel for KM 40 or 3 hours, whichever came first, BAD IDEA, should've taken it earlier, by the time I got to that point I didn't want to eat and was @ the wall, lesson learned, schedules are good guidlines, but from now on I'll go by what my body tells me it needs.

Overall, more than happy w/ the results, my butt was dragging at the end, so I know there's room for improvement.
