you see all kinds of painful looking runners at the 25mile marker.

Yeah, starting with a downhill is a pain. It makes you go too fast early on, which hurts you later. Assuming an overall level course, I like starting with an uphill because it forces me to slow down, and then I make up the time later on the downhill side when I'm loosened up.
But as I type this, I'm realizing that you probably don't give a damn and already hear more of this stuff than you want anyway.
