Maybe slowing down will speed me up! Peter Fuhrman 5/17/01 1:15:53 PM ET
I usually carry my own Gatorade, so the water stops shouldn't affect me. The crowds may force me to slow my pace, and allow me to finish under 4 hours. In NJ, I was running 8:50's until mile 20 and it started to catch up with me real fast. I will run smarter the next time.
