The Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon

The Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon was held on Sunday 7/25/2010 again with no tunnel in the course due to the extended closure. It was an out-and-back course with consistent moderate uphills for the first half and the then same trail back downhills for the second half. There were 70 marathon finishers and 35 half marathon finishers overall. Since the weather was supposed to be hot on the race day, I elected an early start option to finish before noon. I had nice steady first half for 1:55-ish and then for some reason I wanted to take easy strides for the downhills resulting in 1:51 for the second half. It's great to go out in the trails and get soaked with sweats putting some 26-ish miles on the legs. I was 9th overall out of 70. I'm lovin it.
