Long time lurker but I had to post to thank the three 3:40 pacers Menoscemo, Gavlor and AuldManKing. You did an extremely good job keeping us on pace, telling us when to ease off, when to fill the lungs and when to shake the arms out. It was a pleasure running with you (and the rest of the group).
I was on your shoulder until about 17 miles before heading off on my own to try and make up 4 minutes and hit my 3:36 target. I only managed 3:37:35 but I'm extremely happy with that.
Hats off again to the pacers - awesome job, Thank You

After a day off yesterday back in the land of the living and can’t really focus on work unless I get this off my chest. I’ll keep it short-ish.
This was marathon #4 for me and was still aiming for my first sub 4. Training was a gradual lead in time of about 6 months to DCM.
Race series times were:
FD 10 mile: 1.17
HM = 1.39
Had 4 x 20m LSRs (plus speed/hill work) under the belt so was in good shape. Tapered correctly etc.
Start:
Introduced myself to Gavlor, AMK & Meno @ the 3.40 pacer position and was happy out to be up with them. Was great to meet them given their contribution in the novices thread. Stuck with them until Kilmainham where I popped half an electrolyte and then they were out of sight. Crumlin was windy but tucked in behind a taller guy but didn’t feel any benefit in that.
Mile 16
By the KCR I had walked for the first time. Quad cramped up something fierce but ran through it.
Mile 20-21
Threw up – this was an issue for me at the end of DCM 2013 but never during a race. Offered some relief somewhat tbh.
Both legs cramped and was walking without bending either knee. Had to rest against a wall where a supporter (clearly a runner) came to my aid and did some stretches with me. He kick started me back into a slow jog. By Nutley Lane I was up close and personal with someone’s rose bush thinking I’d throw up again ….but didn’t.
22 – Finish
The rest was just stop start. The support was out of this world but I was so far gone even the plastic clappers just got annoying and I wanted out of the noise. Crossed the line in 4.34.
Fuel intake
Breakfast was porridge and a bagel. On the course it was 3 gels + 1 electrolyte and plenty of water.
I simply don’t know where to go from here. I did everything right… or so I thought. At this stage I’m disillusioned by what happened. This was to be my year.
That’s 2 years running I’ve finished white faced and blue lips so back to the drawing board.
Any pearls of wisdom on points to work on would be welcome.
I'm no expert, but in my opinion setting out with a pace group that's even 10 mins too fast can throw your finish time off by a lot more than 10 mins. At the start, even though I was going faster than my planned pace, it felt easy, probably because my legs were well rested after the taper. I kept telling myself to slow down, even though it felt easy and the crowd was carrying me along. If I had of kept up the quicker pace from the start I would have suffered a lot more in the second half. Maybe running with 3.50 pacers would have kept you on a more even keel. Like they say, its not the distance that kills, its the pace. Its so hard to know what marathon pace should be after spending months of training going slower. Hopefully you will get your sub 4 in marathon no 5 0 -
