4:11 finish, 74/233 place overall. Midnight start, cool temps with on and off rain. Course has five fairly flat loops within a small town - kind of monotonous, but it's dark so it doesn't matter much. Enthusiastic support from local volunteers, many of them kids, who stayed out all night in the rain. I'm not used to running any long distance in the middle of the night, so I expected to be slow. Sleep deprivation didn't affect pace too much early on, but later miles were much slower and more painful than normal. Unique experience overall.

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.
