marathon day

Today was marathon day and I led the full men's marathon in the pouring rain. I accidentally changed my bike computer settings a few minutes before the race so I couldn't keep track of distance covered, but I probably clocked over 80km. I did the full course (42 km), and then did the patrol after, clearing the half-marathon course up Prospect Point, then over Burrard Bridge out to Point Grey and back and forth several times checking on the stragglers. It was an amazing day, leading the lead male runners on my own for almost the entire time. I am now tired and sore (riding home into a headwind sucked), especially my neck from looking back to check my positioin relative to the men.
