Estes Park Marathon

The world's highest paved marathon. I already want to do it again. Difficult but breathtaking. Lonely but introspective.

It was K's 40th (she continues to be my running hero, with Pre a close second!). Perfect prep for IM, all about continuing the forward momentum. The first several miles climb, then descend, then climb again. The wind was frustrating at points, but all you had to do was look around and be taken back by the vast beauty. LOVE IT.

Team Freisem finished in 4:28, which set a 9 minute PR for the course. Kristina missed the top 3 in her age group by one slot. I finished 40th overall and 13 in my age group. Great day, lots of hay for the barn. For me, its all about time on the legs, running thru the aches and pains. Hoping to feel this solid on 9/13!
