You must be very, very proud of your accomplishment. Your pace strategy was spot on and you played the waiting game like a pro. I'm really envious of your splits and will continue to follow your progress as you head towards the 2:30's. Somehow I don't think we'll have to wait too long. I'm sure a lot of people will learn a lot of stuff about marathon running from your report. Thanks for sharing your step by step account of the race. Until the next one, --Steve Tremendous race report Blaine and congrats on a superb win and course record! You must be very, very proud of your accomplishment.

How awesome must it be to actually WIN a race, especailly one with well over 700 marathoners. Great job, and wow, what a great story you weave in your report. If I get a chance, I'd love to contact you to discover what your background was before this big win, which I'm assuming was a serious PR. My dream is to one day win a race... you have now done that! Awesome, man... very awesome. It was an awesome day to run. Blaine, amazing race, and thanks for checking in at my blog, which by the way is how I stumbled here.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. It is so cool to hear how others saw the course. I finished at the opposite end of the spectrum from you, but it is so funny to see that we both shared the same experience (just at a different pace). Hope to see you around SE CT, too! Congratulations to you for a great victory! PS--loved the shoes! Hello–
