Freedom's Run Marathon

October 1, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Cold and rainy

Comments:
Fun race, tough course. Ran with Bob and Jason and settled on a goal of keeping under 5 hours which we managed. Steady light rain for most of the run. With the cooler weather, didn't need to drink as much (maybe 60oz overall Gatorade/water). Realized that a bit late and needed to pee twice. Took 5 gels at about every 5 miles. First half of the course was mostly along the river and flat. Second half was pretty hilly and more exposed. Ran through aptly named battle fields (i.e. bloody lane) during some of the tougher points of the course. Not much fan support due to the weather and small course, but really enjoyed the small town marathon feel nonetheless. A great event and nice weekend for the family.
