Yes, my friends (who are not really runners) both expected to compete and probably finishing around 3:30 - 4:00 but aborted about 3/4 into the race I have competed in 4-6 hour races in other sports. Trust me I will never show up unprepared again ;) longest most painful days of my life Best of luck with your future marathons - maybe I'll give it a go one year
