Highlights: A beautiful cool lake swim. Two long climbs through the Cascade Mountains and 25 miles of rain mixed with sleet/hail on the bike with a strong head wind from Mile 85-110.
My favorite part was testing my mettle in the last 13 miles of the race which was mostly uphill and into the wind. I am proud of the fact that I negative split my marathon which I owe in part to my strength training at FIT.
Kona on Saturday, October 9th.
