Marathon Complete!
Well, I’ve done it! My first marathon is completed. I ran the 26.2 miles of the inaugural ING Georgia Marathon! My time although not too embarrassing will definitely need to be improved next time. I finished the race in 4 hours, 55 minutes. That comes to 11.2 minutes per mile and betrays the fact that I walked part of the way because my calves were cramping… oh well. Here are the intermediate results: (see… I was fast at first!)
| 10K | Half | 20Mile | FINISH |
| 00:52:51 | 02:00:53 | 03:30:59 | 4:55:31 |
Point is, I did it! And, as a treat my roomies decided that that was an accomplishment worthy of a free dinner… so I get taken out tonight! Hurrah! Hmm… maybe that will make up for the throbbing pain in my legs.
I’m hitting all the “Georgia Marathon” google blog search returns I can.
Great job on the race! I will someday run a marathon.
I took a ton of photos of this marathon. Check out my blog entry to see if you can find yourself.
Tell other runners so that they can find their pictures, too (hopefully. I had to shut down too early).
Congrats !!!
42 kilometers, that’s quite a run !
how did you prepare it ?
