Another year, another test of endurance. Â This was a very unique race. Â For starters it was my 10th running of this marathon and perhaps the coldest. Â I had the great pleasure of hanging with Bryon Mondok, Chris Tress and David Rebak. Â While we did not cross the finish line together, we all FINISHED.
Some interesting things about this marathon:
1. Â There was ice on the road at the water stops.
2. I did not discard any layered clothing because of the cold.
3. I read a shirt that stated Dead Last Finish is greater than Did Not Finish is greater than Did Not Start...I thought it was appropriate.
Although I did not set a PR, I did enjoy the race (yes ENJOY).  It was a quick weekend.  I drove  up on Saturday, raced on Sunday morning and was home by 3:30 pm on Sunday evening.
Will there be an 11th? I am almost 100% sure, but it doesn’t count until you actually sign up 🙂
