4:23 finish, 2773/4057 place overall. Fairly large popular race running through Gold Coast, a resort city on the coast of Queensland about an hour south of Brisbane. Well organized with enthusiastic support. The course is very flat and with good weather and it should have been a fast time, but sleep deprivation and just not feeling great made this one slower than usual. Still nice to finally have the continent done after two years of covid cancellations - setting me up for #7 in Antarctica in December.
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.
