Was signed up for Myrtle Beach (3/6), but it got postponed until May. Knew that would likely be a warm/humid suck-fest so I quickly signed up for Skidaway Island marathon in GA (3/13). Today ended up also being warmer than I'd like, 55-75 (start-finish). Goal was anything sub 3. Was a little apprehensive with the warmer weather and the fact that I have no experience at this distance. Tried to hold around 6:45 pace and ended up right around 6:49. Fastest mile was 6:40, slowest was 6:58. Consumed around 300 calories of tailwind/powerade and maybe 20oz of water. Last couple miles SUCKED, but at that point I knew the end was near. Finished 2:58:49.
