Marathon #69: Suffolk County Marathon, Heckscher State Park, NY

3:58 finish, 125/631 place overall. Mostly flat course along Suffolk's south shore, starting in Heckscher, running along Montauk Highway to Patchogue, and then back to Heckscher on the same route. Nice crowd support through towns - much better than Long Island Marathon. Warm and very humid, however, with not much shade. Felt strong through first two-thirds of race, but slowed somewhat as the heat and humidity got to me in later miles. Still managed to break four hours (barely) - first time doing so since North Dakota in early May.
