I should have posted this a while ago - no excuses, I am a bad blogger.
The Ellerbe Spring Marathon, another Mangum Track Club event, and just like every Mangum race/run I have done, this one was a lot of fun, and as usual, I enjoyed the run and the great company.
About the course - you know, I can't think of any flat parts, there were certainly a lot of hills, and I took to be good 'power walking' practice.
I managed to negative split the race, which I don't think I have ever done before in any distance, 2:31 in the first half, and finished in 4:58. My third fastest marathon time.
A special thank you to the Dummars - the RD's, MTC and all the special volunteers who came out to cheer us on.
I'll be back next year.
Sub 5 is GREAT! It's a tough marathon for sure! Good luck at the Umstead 100 this coming weekend!
