Wilmington Marathon-A Bracket of One

OK, so I’m on my own.  I don’t know anyone.  I don’t know what to expect.  And it’s the biggest race I’ve ever been in.  I keep telling myself my primary goal is to finish--but if my time is slower than what I’m hoping for, I’ll feel like all my hours of training were wasted.  I need to let that go, but I can’t.
