Los Angeles Marathon
Los Angeles Marathon complete, 4:39:40 chip time (10:40/mile), 4:36:17 GPS time (10:28/mile). Considering how badly training was disrupted, was pretty happy with this year's result. It was my LA Loyal 10 year as well as the 40th anniversary of the Los Angeles Marathon, so doubly awesome.
Not sure what happened with the official time vs. the unofficial time in the app, let alone with my GPS time, as the official time reported minimal slowing in miles 21-24 for me. Both the unoofficial (live app tracking) and my GPS showed me getting slower by about a minute or minute and a half a mile for miles 21-24 before dumping it all in the fire to finish the last two miles.
Post-race, caught up with most of my fellow LA Marathoners. Mike and AJ both ran while Allison, Lulu, and Julie cheered us on. Travis also ran (and killed it with an awesome 3:08!), but did not actually see him during or after the race. Also had a delicious lunch at Din Tai Fung after the race to restore all the calories we burned. Xiao long bao, green beans, shrimp fried rice, bok choy, ribs, spicy won tons, cold cucumber, dan dan mein, woodear mushrooms (black fungus), and two kinds of dessert. Nom!
