Endurrun Stage 7 - The Marathon

 Wrapped up Endurrun yesterday running the Marathon.   Started tired and a bit sore and used the first of two laps more or less as a warm up.   Ran the first half at a slow pace chatting with a friend in no hurry what so ever.   More or less used the first lap as a warm up for the second.   My heart rate was hanging on in the mid 120s through the first loop which blew me away.   Heading out on the second loop I took off at a much faster pace determined to achieve a huge negative split.    Managed Hydration ,   Nutrition and Electrolytes,  it was a much better weather not as humid and not as hot but there were a few exposed Sunny stretches where the heat would build.

Tripped the clock at 4h30m1sec with an 11 minute negative split good for 52nd out of 78 folks that started and I was 38th out of 53 Men.
