What a city, what a race. There's much to say about the Berlin Marathon, but no time (or energy!) to do it justice now. I'll just note that on a very warm day I nailed my nutrition and hydration, got in a good groove and the kilometers seemed to sail by, well, not effortlessly, but in good order.
3:09:54
That's a PR by 8 minutes and 58 seconds.
And check this out: I ran nearly even splits on the front and back half of the race!
1st half: 1:34:24
2nd half: 1:35:30
More in a couple of days. Now, a Budweiser awaits (the real one, imported from Czech Republic).
My results are here.

Congratulations, Pete. Amazing effort--all the physical *and* mental preparation paid off.
ReplyDeleteWow, Pete! That is SO great! You set yourself a goal and BAM!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! 9 minutes off your PR is awesome. I can only hope to do as well; it'd be good enough for a BQ. I'll take it as evidence that FIRST works!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, great job; I'm so glad to hear that it went well. Enjoy that well-deserved Budweiser (BudVar or something right?).
Congratulations! Love, deb
