3:43 finish, 46/202 place overall. Nice small race mostly along park and riverfront paths, starting and finishing downtown in front of the Iowa state capitol. A little windy but otherwise ideal weather with a flat course; decent sub-four finish.
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.
