Big Sur Marathon

Distance: 26.2 Miles
Time: 3:39:01
YTD: 279.6 Miles
Location: Big Sur Marathon, Carmel California.

Beautiful morning - a little chilly but warmed up nicely after battling a stiff headwind for the first 20K. Then was too damn hot for the last 10K. Whoever said that if you were only going to run one marathon this should be it! Did not say that there were no flat parts in the course, just transitions between up and down. The scenery was nice but tough tough course. On a positive note wore my running room team Canada shirt and everyone kept yelling go Canada. Made me feel good.




The cart shows the pace and elevation changes over the four hours of running. Overall I was pleased with the result but slowed down too much and took longer walk breaks over the last half. I will have to keep that in mind for next time.

Plod On
