Lost Dutchman Marathon

My wife got me to the bus pick up area around 4:30 am and there was runners on the bus already and just had to wait for 10 or 15 min and we were on our way to the start line. Got at the start and off the bus and all the people were nice and helpful with coffee and water and a nice fire to stand around. Had to walk a little ways to the start but not to bad, (not like Boston walk to the corals) Plan for the race was to just hold an 7:50 to 8:00 min pace for this race and even effort race. Race started and it was some down hills with rollers in it and the views were just amazing and the temp was around 50*, hit the 10k at 47:59 (8:00 pace) and felt very good but had to work hard to hold pace back and not speed up. I was just enjoying myself and had forgot to take 2 of my gu gels and knowing that was not going to be a good thing late in the race. Hit 13 miles at 1:44:19 (7:58 pace) and now had some down hills mix with alot of rollers and had a long 3 mi

Way to battle through it Marlin. That's awesome you were even able to run it after your injury.

Thanks Craig and Curt, it is nice to get into the swing of it again and to have marathon season here again.

Great job! I love this marathon. Those last 4 miles are tough though! Hope to see you at SLC and Ogden. I start training next week!

Thanks Steve, yes the last few miles are hard. I was thinking of you when I was out there running it, you had an amazing time on that course last year! Yes hope to see you at SLC and Ogden as I will run both this year and good luck with your training
