Marathon #162: Icebreaker Marathon, East Meadow, NY

4:08 finish, 42/70 place overall. Just like the one other time I did this marathon in 2018, this was meant as an extra-long training run rather than a real race - intentionally not going for a fast time. I would have needed at a least 20 miler anyway in my normal training cycle, and with most of the usual routes covered in ice and snow, this was a nice way to get it done on a cleared and supported course. It's a very small race and nothing exciting (eight loops around Eisenhower Park in the cold), but it's fine for what it is. Slower than usual finish time as planned.
