Neat statistic. Actually it seems more astonishingly high than low. I know many quality runner that have never completed a marathon. One of my co-workers (and perhaps the best runner I know personally) has never been able to complete a marathon. He trains at such a high level that the 20 mile training runs beat him down. But when he runs the half marathon or shorter, he is highly competitive in his age group (and overall).
I am happy that you and Dan decided to try a marathon and had such great success but I don't think marathons are for everyone.
