sun was out for the marathoners
1:27.33 was the lucky number this weekend for the goodlife marathon in Victoria. I was hoping for more smooshing of my time but I can tell I needed to do a bit more speed work. I am finding it hard to get into these fall races, starting a race in the dark with crisp air just isn’t the same as a hot summer morning.
Overall the giant crew then went over had raced some very solid times and are already looking to improve on the benchmarks with myself included. A sub-3 hour marathon will require me to get my half time down to a 1:24 area.
Overall I thought the race was ready well managed and signage was great, but I found that the route moves around a lot. A lot of turns, and little rolling hills, I could never ready feel like I was in a good rhythm. Weather ended up great for the 42.2 guys, but I think the wind was a bit too rough for the short distance guys. Sun ended up ripping through in the afternoon making for an all around solid weekend.
Coming home to the finish
