Not quite a meltdown, but close. It was aiming for a 3:35, but ended up with 4:15. I got off to a slow start, and felt lethargic the entire 26.1 miles. I was not in top shape, but the hot whether certainly didn't help. It was about 60 degrees at the start, and got to around 85 degrees by noon.

According the organizers, my recorded finish time was 4:15:25 and I placed 9304 out of 31,401 finishers

Net 5k = 27:59

Net 40k = 4:02:44

I was so happy to see the finish line. I continued moving to my hotel, checked out, and got on the Orange Line train heading to Midway Airport.
