This is data from my watch (time for each kilometer)... not always 100% accurate due to me screwing up a few times.

The short story is that I went out too fast and paid at the end.
The longer story is that I felt great for the first half, good until 30k, bad but hanging in there until 35k, then dragged myself to the end. This is reflected in my times.
If this was a 30K race I would have been in good shape! :)
The 7:00/km near the end sounds awful, but if I run the entire Ironman marathon at that pace it will translate into a sub-5:00 marathon... giving me 12 hours to do the rest. Easy peasy! I can't imagine feeling any worse than I felt on Sunday, right? Right? Please??

Well done running sub-4 as a big guy. I know about running marathons at ~230lbs from personal experience My last one was the Peach City Marathon - on the ironman course - in 5:07.
The last 10k was a brute.
About the feeling. If you can run it in 4 hours and you decide to back off an do it in 4:30 say, you feel ten times better.
Running at your best is hard, hard work, but it's surprising how much easier it is to run just a little bit slower. The effort / stress plot isn't a straight line graph.
It's like the difference between running zone 4 or running zone 3 instead. The rub is you have to train hard so that you could run zone 4, and simply choose to run zone 3. heh.
We'll have to get together and compare big guy notes! :)
