Marathon #17 (state #6): Vermont City Marathon, Burlington, VT

4:07 finish, 936/2405 place overall. Nice, well organized and supported race through Vermont's largest city.  Great atmosphere. While this was another relatively short turnaround (four weeks this time), the bigger issue here was weather - very warm and humid, especially once the sun came out in the later miles.  The final part of the course - relatively flat along a bike path paralleling Lake Champlain - was a death march with a mixture of walking and slow jogging through what felt like a sauna. Slowest time in almost two years.
