4:53 finish, 88/143 place overall. Small, scenic but very tough course running mostly through Monsanto Park, just west of Lisbon. Race starts and finishes in the middle of the city, which is hilly to begin with, then quickly moves onto mostly unpaved paths and trails (which I’m very slow on) with very steep, endless hills. Much slower than average time but not unexpected considering the course - one of the hardest I’ve done aside from Pikes Peak and Zermatt.
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.
