Marathon #51 (country #2): Vienna City Marathon, Austria

4:18 finish, 4720/6348 place overall.  Relatively flat, cloudy and cool with a little light rain - ideal for a fast time (in theory). Worst time since last August, and that one was up and down mountains at over 6,000 feet of altitude. This one? Only thing I can blame it on is red-eye flight and six hour jet lag. Felt sluggish all the way through, and early crowds on narrow streets didn't help. Cool course though for first international marathon - runs through nice parks and historic areas of Vienna.
