3:48 finish, 300/1190 place overall. Nice downhill race through Poudre Canyon and finishing in Fort Collins, about an hour north of Denver. The first half is cool and shaded in the canyon with great mountain and river scenery, but the later miles are more open along bike paths with not much shade, making it much warmer and slower. It has fairly high elevation starting at over 6,000 feet, but the downhill course (dropping over 1,000 feet) minimizes the effects. Decent sub-four finish as needed for the state.
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.
