Marathon Debut

I ran my first marathon last weekend. I finished in 2:56:13, placing 122nd out of 7,346 runners. My splits were as follows:

Segment	Split Time
0K–5K	20:51
5K–10K	21:04
10K–15K	21:04
15K–20K	20:45
20K–25K	19:37
25K–30K	20:04
30K–35K	21:17
35K–40K	22:22

As observed, 35K to the finish line was brutal. It’s interesting how time slowed down from 35K on. It felt like the race would never end, but with enough patience, it did end.
