The morning came earlier than I thought, the temperature was colder, the wind was more biting, the wait was longer at the start villages, the wait in the corrals was longer, the crowds were thicker, for longer, and the footing and race strategy was tricker than I thought...but, it is finished! I completed the marathon in 4:22:27. A PR by nearly 20 minutes, mind you. I encountered a lot of unexpected things throughout the race, but all in all I am glad I ran it, and I crossed the finish line with a smile on my face. Many, many weeks and many miles of training later, I have earned some time off. Stay tuned...
