Granville - Kingdom Marathon - May 14th, 2020

With very little thought I decided to tackle the Granville State Forest to Satan's Kingdom Marathon today. DL was willing to shuttle my car to the finish at Satan's Kingdom, and then drive me to the start at Granville State Forest along the Hubbard River.
I felt really good for the first twenty-miles, and pretty good from that point to the finish. I power-hiked the ups from the Route 219 crossing at 19-miles, and jogged all the flats and downhill.
Beautiful day, temperatures ranged from the fifties to start (about 9:10 a.m.) and just about seventy toward the end at 3:00 p.m.
The run measured out on the gps at 25.78-miles, and I completed the effort in 5:54 moving time, and 6:04 total time (a few stops to refuel water drops and photos). This was my 59th completed marathon all-time.
The total climb according to Google Earth was 4702', with a net descent of 5389'. The majority of the elevation loss was in the first 2 and last 2 miles.
