 I know my confidence goes down the tubes for this reason alone when I line up at a race. I'm assuming that you did the pasta feed the night before. Unfornuately, (my belief anyway) these meals are too late and your system becomes sluggish. Next time, try getting your big meal down by 1-2 pm the day before.
I think you mentioned possibly doing Disney next. Disney was my digestive system nightmare. I ate alot at 8-9 pm and Disney is a 6 am start. It doesn't appear that you consumed a whole heck of all of calories "during" the race.
Your 6 mile hunger pains????? It sounds like you burned your glycogen and then your body was turning to fat stores. I think you could see big improvement experimenting with nutrition during your long runs. Carbo-loading does not work for me. I try to tap into my fat early in the race and by mile 18, I'm eating constanting for instant energy. Most people will take gu/gels early on and then every 20 minutes or so. I hold off 'til 17-20 and take gu every mile. I'm thinking maybe I'd benefit to have a burger at mile 20  |
I must have burned up some glycogen, but it really surprised me because I ate more breakfast than usual and on training runs the hunger doesn't really hit until after 10 after 13 or 14 the energy starts going, but this time I didn't lose energy (unless my body sucked all energy out of my right hamstring). 
Disney was supposed to be next, potentially in 2007, but unless something very surprising happens in the next year I don't think we're going to be able to afford the trip. Same with Grandma's next year because the hotel rooms are super expensive for Grandma's weekend and you have to reserve two nights.
So, one thought, if I do one next year is a small one in Rochester, MN called the Med City Marathon. Or, depending what our plans are for our anniversary, Twin Cities.
And for all, thank you. It means a lot.
