My strategy was: starting slowly for the first two miles(apparently it was still fast), 

then the pace around 7:50 till mile 6, then till mile 13.

I tried to go to a restroom break at mile 3. And I can only go to the one 

on mile 8. It bothered me a little bit, but it was still ok.

After mile 13, I planned to pick up the pace to 7:40 if I could.

I felt a little bit tired(did not have a good sleep. awoke after 1:38am).

Then I thought maybe just slowed down to secure a Boston Qualifier 

since I could have enough chances to run better rates.

After mile 10, I just decided to stay the pace 8 to the end.

Anyway, it was an "easy" race for me, since I was upset so many times

for the cramps for the past 4 marathons. So finally I got the BQ without

any cramps.
