Really cool little Saturday night marathon in Hamilton, OH.  Start time 6pm, with a small number of entrants in full marathon (72 finishers).   4 loops on a paved course along the river.  Got dark for last lap.  The whole course is lit up - pretty cool. 

Felt decent for most of the race aside from eating a little too soon up before the race.  Small pasta bowl 2 hours before... Had some pretty bad side stitches in the last 10k.  

6:36, 51,, 52, 49, 48, 52, 48,42,48, 51,52, 54, 48, 48 -- Half split in 1:29 - Sitting in 5th place

49, 51, 48, 47, 57, 54, 58, 7:04, 7:10, 7:37, 8:02, 7:52, 1:26 for 0.2 - passed two guys on last lap, but, only saw one of them... 

Decent time, 3rd place, and a BQ for my oldness - 3:02:48
