I started working towards it and have had a few setbacks but have made big improvements.
Oct 2008 – 4:21:24 (Hartford, CT)
Nov 2009 – 3:56:25 (Philadelphia)
Jul 2010 – 3:40:56 (San Francisco)
Nov 2010 – 3:39:16 (New York City)
May 2011 – DNF (Vermont)
Nov 2011 – 3:16:37 (New York City)
In November I attempted a sub 3:10 (the revised target) in New York City and finished in 3:16 on what is not exactly an easy course. I know I just need to keep improving and soon I’ll be there.
Thanks Matt for reminding me that while I’m accumulating failures in my quest for a BQ – I’m getting closer everyday. See you in DC.
