It's done. We did it. 19 weeks of training, 795 miles, 16 degree to 82 degree runs, and it all came down to a margin of 2:07 to qualify.
Some stats:
Clock Time
3:13:52
Chip Time
3:13:43
Overall Place
121 / 2555
Gender Place
113 / 1573
Division Place (M35-39)
22 / 277
7 Mile
50:05
Half Split
1:33:49
Popular theory is to take your half-marathon split, double it, and add 8 minutes. If I did that, I would see almost exactly what I ran. I really slowed down the last 3 miles, with a bad side stitch, some serious swelling in my feet, and being right on the verge of calf cramping. But, I did it.
:D

Well done! I'm trying to remember when we might have passed each other. It was a perfect day for racing. Congrats on your BQ. I'll see you at Boston in 2010.
