Steamboat Marathon
1 June 2014
Steamboat, Colorado
Beyond the race distance of 26.2 miles, it was deceptively difficult. All paved, predominately downhill, and the most leg jarring race I have done yet. The first setback was almost missing packet pickup with, in my opinion, a poorly advertised location change, followed by my discovery that I had signed up for the road marathon and not the trail marathon a month later. Oops. The race went well besides my poor planning. It was absolutely stunning weather and scenery; plus I met some very nice people who made the race that much more pleasant.
