Redmond Watershed Preserve Marathon

While all good marathoners were running at Cascade Crest 100 Miler today, I happened to be the 2nd place overall at Redmond Watershed Preserve Marathon.

I almost caught up with the guy in front of me at the final lap, but ran out of gas, and ended up about 50 yd behind.

I got PR time of 3:52:43 today which was not bad at all.

The course had 3 laps of identical trail loop. The trail condition was very good, although there were a lot of short ups and downs throughout the course. I still feel strong and will be ready next Sunday’s Roots Rock 50K in Port Gamble. Oh, I earned one more Maniac star to be in gold level now.
