Marathon #26 (state #14): North Shore Marathon, Haleiwa, HI

3:55 finish, 86/412 place overall. Other than the fact that the RD changed the race date to a week later after I had already registered and booked my flight (forcing me to completely rearrange travel plans, pay extra fees, and take an unplanned day off work), this ended up being a good day and a good race. Very scenic course along north shore of Oahu - mountains on one side and crashing ocean waves on the other. Very flat, but also very warm and humid, as to be expected in HI. Early start made it more tolerable, but sun still got to me in later miles - making me very happy with sub-four finish.
