Naw, I was planning on positive splits but I just didn't have it for the hills. Crossed that beautiful line in 3:53:42. I'm happy and VERY sore.

Oakleaf, that was awesome indeed! I do think that qualifies as "smoking" it

Awesome, Oak! Looked like a beautiful day. I'm very impressed.
I recorded it on my DVR and had chills when I finally looked like Meb would win!
Not sure I could ever qualify...but maybe I'll get serious and try.
Great job again, Oak. Rest up and celebrate!

Congrats Oak!! You should be proud of your accomplishment--first qualifying, and then finishing with a very respectable time. Way to go! I'm with katluvr as far as feeling like I'd be unlikely to qualify...just not a speedy runner (or cyclist, or swimmer, or...). In any case, if I were to do a marathon I think a trail race would be more up my alley anyway.
