It took me over two years, but finally -- a second marathon is under my belt.
Here is my initial assessment of the North Olympic Discovery Marathon:
Boo to headwinds!!
Boo to cold rain!!
Boo to hills, hills and more hills!!
Boo to atrocious splits!!
But to make up for all those "Boos"...
YAY to friend Laurel for carrying me the last 10.2 miles!!
YAY to supporters SMH, Kevin, Laurel and Loki, who speedily navigated their way through the course and cheered me on at nine(!) different spots!!
3:54:42? Not the time I was shooting for. Certainly not fast enough for a "Sub-Dub" (ie, not fast enough to beat Bush's marathon time). But I'll worry about that tomorrow. Right now, it's off to rest those achin' legs.
