Long Walks On Leafy Streets |

(Continued from previous post -- part 1 of conclusion
) My 2019 Marathon Experience - Conclusion - part 2. Around the 10 mile mark the race enters the West Potomac Park and then continues along the Potomac river for about 3 miles. This is one of the most beautiful sections of the race. At this point, as mentioned in part 1, I was starting to get into a rhythm and to feel comfortable. The pain in my right thigh had subsided and I was consuming electrolytes and sugar as planned. I was also maintaining a steady 8 to 8.5-minute pace. Then the rain got heavier, and the south wind started blowing at us because we were running north to south. At times it was gusting at over 20 mph. I still maintained the same effort, but my pace was reduced because of the head-wind and the rain. |
