I DID IT. Forgot to stop timer; made it in under 6h. Pouring rain. Happy. .
37.5K – I was so happy to see the ocean. I stopped to take a photo. It started pouring again right after this. 🙂
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, MOTHER NATURE?!
Official results are up: 5:58:22! Of course, I was dead last. I’m still happy! http://results.au.eventdirector.net/View.asp?EventID=4617&Bib=51.
We are starting to worry that we might actually get flooded in up here. If this keeps up, we might not be able to get back to Sydney!
This town has ONE gas station, and it’s not open past 6 on a Sunday night. Rural Australia makes rural Indiana look like New York City.
The morning after the marathon: My legs are pretty darn sore, but no worse than after my long training run. Only injury seems to be a bruised big toe. I should’ve trimmed the nail down shorter; I think it was being jammed a bit. It’s not black under the nail; just sort of reddish and sore. It already feels better today though. Other than that, I’m feeling good! All credit to Jeff Galloway and my magic walk breaks. 🙂
