Marathon #68 (country #5, Can. prov. #1) - Run the Rock Marathon, Texada Island, BC, Canada

4:11 finish, 3/16 place overall, 1/6 place for males. Very hilly but scenic course on Texada Island - a remote ferry-access-only island between mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Sunny but not too hot and mostly shaded. Small marathon with very friendly support from locals. Hills made for slower than average time as expected, but the tiny field - 16 marathoners total - allowed for a first place finish among males and third place overall.
