The Santa Rosa Marathon – Third Time (Fourth if we count the DNS)

How it started:

How it ended:

This was my third time running this event… albeit there was one other time I was supposed to run it but I may or may not have broken a toe and thus did not start (DNS).

I was slower than I was in 2016 but not by much. And eight years is a long time. So, we take the win in getting through it, especially given a lack of sleep partly due to a cruddy AirBNB experience and partly because, well, who knows?
