getting picked up by the bus when you thought you were on time is no fun. The problem with so many of the bigger events is that the people at the back of the pack actually start so late that they are already behind the pace. Maybe looking for walker only events like this one http://walkonmn.org/marathon/general.html would be a better plan. Even when they tell you the course will be open a LONG time, it's a long time from when the gun goes off NOT when you cross the starting line. On the other hand you could try Galloway's run-walk. I've heard him talking about doing a 1:1 ration (run a minute,then walk a minute). That would drive me crazy but it might help to keep you ahead of 'the bus'.
