I completed a Tunxis Marathon in 5:41:50. I had Johnny Bandit along for company, as well as Tippi. It would be my 34th marathon completed, and Tippi's 8th.
We rambled from Route 20 to Route 219 in East Hartland, Connecticut, and back for the first 19.5 miles. We finished up with the Route 20 to Pell Road near the Massachusetts border for the final 6.5-miles.
Old Notes: Another great day; started out 45 degrees at the 9:15 A.M. start time. It reached a high of maybe 60 degrees during the day, with majority in the mid 50’s. Sunny and blue sky entire time, occasional strong breeze every once and a while. Started the run at 9:15 A.M.
John and I both felt that it was the easiest marathon either of us had ever done. We finished strong, running all but the very start of Trillium Hill from mile 24.5 onward. I believe we could have easily gotten thru another hour on this day. Plenty of water for Tippi, no problems with her other than the porcupine around mile 18. We escaped from that ok.
