That’s a great idea! Who knows how to grab audio from the finish line feed? Anyone?Great report @FFigawi ! Always awsome when things come together on race day after putting in so much work to prepare. If I ever completed something like this, I am pretty sure I would have the "you are an Ironman" announcement on my phone and play it every 30 seconds and certainly in response to any question I was asked for at least the next month.

Thanks. Will open up the Mac later today.I think you can do that with VLC (open source video software).
Thanks! I do not have an M-dot tattoo. I have others, but don’t like the idea of putting a corporate logo on my body. My artist is going to work something up for me, though. I need a tri related one somehow.@FFigawi Congrats on a killer race! Guessing you already have your IM tattoo? There are a lot of IM finishers here (I live where IM TX is held) so almost every race I go to, I see the calf tattoos. I always think they think this is a cakewalk after that!! Just so impressive.
Just registered for the Covered Bridges Half in Vermont in June. Always been a bucket list race, and sells out in minutes.
I’ll thank my runDisney registration experience that helped me get registered in a minute flat when it opened tonight!
Good luck! That would be really great if you get your bib.Eek! I have a 1 in 11 chance of getting a Boston bib, no fundraising strings attached. Name gets selected today at 7pm, so if you have spare running vibes you can send my way, I’d love them!!
It took me 2 years to go from 5:30 to 5 hours. Then about a month later (and 2 more marathons that were over 5 hours), I started a @DopeyBadger plan in October for Dopey 2018. With this plan I was running each training run at specified paces and being more intentional with my running. So in three months I took 14 minutes off my marathon time (4:44). Then another 4 months later, I ran a 4:11 marathon. So with very specified training I was able to realize my immediate potential pretty quickly. A year later I ran 4:01. After that, it took me 2 and a half years and a slightly downhill course to get to 3:58. There were several marathons in there that were not run for time. I also ran a few half marathon PRs in this time. I still was following pacing strategies. I have also found that I really don’t enjoy running marathons hard. I would rather run a lot of marathons at a comfortable pace than try really hard for one marathon. I’m not sure I could get much faster if I tried. Maybe I could, but I don’t really care to try. I may continue to run faster halves, but generally I like to travel and run marathons at a longish run pace.I was listening to the Run4PRs podcast earlier today Episode 183 "How Long Will It Take to Reach My Goals & 'See Results.'" They said that it should take approximately 2-3 years to go from a 5:00 marathon to a 4:00 marathon. They stipulated that there are a LOT of variables that could skew the results including how many days per week one is running etc. Nonetheless, I am curious to hear from you 4:00 and less marathoners how long it took you to go from 5:00 to 4:00.

My first marathon in September 2019, with absolutely no time goal. I danced, ate a cake, took pictures and walked for a while towards the end:I was listening to the Run4PRs podcast earlier today Episode 183 "How Long Will It Take to Reach My Goals & 'See Results.'"

I have yet to hit my goal of 4:10 due to GI issues. My PR is 4:23 in October 2021. I visited every last porta potty in the last half of the race. So if not for the GI issues I would have easily hit 4:10 or under. Eventual goal is sub 4 just once in my life. GI issues are getting under control with a fuel change and I should be getting a medication change tomorrow for an autoimmune disease I have.

This is my dream (Everest and pets) but I’m prob too slow right now.My first marathon was part of Dopey in 2019 and I finished in 6:15, but I ran with a friend. We went on Everest, pet the animals, ate all the spectator snacks, drank all the spectator drinks, took lots of photos, etc.
We went on Everest, pet the animals,
No. It was before AK. I think it was a donkey or a sheep? I just looked through my photos and couldn’t find what was there.You managed to get to the Affection Station? I am very much impressed
