4:42 finish, 236/609 place overall. Hilly but very scenic course over mostly unpaved roads on Catalina Island. Minimal crowd support until the last mile in Avalon, but great scenery made up for it. Foggy early, but cleared up nicely as race went on allowing for great views. Started off strong, even on the hills, but hit “wall” on huge hill around mile 20 and slowed down considerably.

Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.
