Edmonton Marathon Results -- preliminary
overall time: 3:33:46 on Garmin
21.1k time: approx. 1:40:50
overall place: 80th
weather was ideal
Turned out to be a tough course for me today. Most of the hills were in the first 1/2. After these hills I never got back to a good groove for getting my target 3:20 time. It was not from lack of trying.
As Kevin @ peak always tells me, as long as you leave it on the course its a good race. That was the case today.
I'm happiest with the last 12km today. It was my strongest finish in a race of this distance. My last 4km averaged approx 4:30 - 4:35 min/k pace which was great. I even caught a guy just before the the finish who had taken off from me at 30k.
