They take your PoT into account more than that.I noticed on the marathon registration that it asked if you ever completed a marathon before...what's that about? Is your placement somehow based on that, or just your proof of time?

Like @Barca33Runner said, I think it has more to do with their internal analytics. I presume they want to know who is a return customer and who might be attempting a new distance that they've never tried before, especially from that return customer group.I noticed on the marathon registration that it asked if you ever completed a marathon before...what's that about?

Sports beans, bananas and chocolate (usually m&ms, or small candy bars)I apologize if this has already been discussed. This will be my first marathon. What fuel is prvived throughout the run?

Got my flight for Wednesday and get in before 10AM. So, I have never dealt with the first day expo crowds: Is it worth it to go as soon as it opens or is it better just to wait it out until the late afternoon? I would think that it would be chaotic and slow in the morning but quicker later on. For past (all non-Dopey) weekends, I usually went in the afternoons on Thursdays or Fridays and it was super fast, but I have heard horror stories about Wednesday....I am not a big merchandise person, so besides a mug or something simple, I am not concerned about getting anything too elaborate.

I would recommend figuring out what you like and works during training and bring your own fuel to the marathon. As someone mentioned, I don't think there is anything solid until after the halfway mark (though aid stations may have something, never tried). I wouldn't take the risk of trying anything new or different on marathon day.
