Woody Snoberger clocked a 2:40:08 (net time) at the National Marathon in D.C. on Saturday - his first effort at the 26.2-mile distance.
Talked with him late Saturday; he seemed stoked about the day overall, ony a bit unhappy with some parts of his race in the later miles. He placed 14th overall and averaging 6:05 per mile.
The results don't appear to have runners' hometowns by them, so post here any additional local participants.
In the half marathon, Jaron Hawkins was 15th overall in 1:14:34 (net time) / 5:42 pace.
Jeremy Rice was 39th in 1:19:39 and Rob Smith placed 71st in 1:24:38.
Details tomorrow on tristaterunnur.com.

It was a great effort by the "Wood". The Wood looked strong at the finish. Good job man. Give us an update on the legs.

Great job by Woodrow this weekend. He did look strong at the finish. Now is the time to get some R & R and get ready for a summer of pounding.
Rob also really impressed this weekend. I don't know what he is on, but I think that he is in the best shape he's ever been in.
Good job boys, the rest of us are envious.

You guys continue to impress me. Woody--great job on your 1st marathon. I have to admit I am not surprised, you are an excellent runner. Good job to the other guys as well whether you were racing or "participating".

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciated all of the support out there. I felt really good going into for teh first 17 miles. The next few miles were starting to hurt but not to bad. At mile 22 or 23 I was really beginning to hurt. I just kept thinking to myself "I only have like 20 minutes left." Again thanks for the congratulations.

Awesome debut Woody. I believe Geb debuted in the marathon with the same time (true).

Great performances by our runners - congratulations. The second half can be tough any time especially the first time, and under 2:40 should be no problem in any future marathons. But rest for a while first!

I have to say that I was definitely impressed with Woody's marathon. He showed great poise and went out logically and sensibly (something I haven't figured out yet). It paid big dividends in the second half when he was able to start to push hard towards the finish line.
He executed his race plan perfectly and had a lot of confidence in what he was doing. That counts for a lot.
