Maher (#10827) at the 2007 Boston Marathon (yes, the wet, cold, and windy one!) www.baa.org, just after the 30km mark (18.5 miles).
NOTE:  that's not my belly, I swear!  I have two pairs of spare gloves and a wool headband in my jacket pockets! My finish time under the unfavorable conditions:  3h39m27s.
