At the start I was in the first, non-elite coral, so started just behind the real fast runners. At this point, just as I crossed the start line I was a mere 10 seconds behind the winner, David Cheruiyot. Unfortunately I was unable to hold the pace and he eventually beat me by 50 minutes....
This was about mile 15, feeling strong, looking relaxed - "Hey, this sub 3 is gonna be easy
About 3 miles later, now I am having to work at it
Into the last mile, the wheels are off and there is no more "smile for the camera" - Pretty surprised to see a picture with both feet off the ground at the same time.
Crossing the line, very happy to be done. I think Cheruiyot was already on the plane home by the time I got there.......

Nice pictures. Next time, just grab Cheruiyot's shirt and hang on!
It looks like that bib is printed on your shirt. Is it?
