Glorious Catalina Marathon
But when I climb up to my island peak,
Escape awhile the maddening world of strife
I envy not an earthly thing, this life,
which sometimes galls, is swept clean of cares,
by friendly winds, and once again I smile.
Ay, truly, life seems sweet–a thing worthwhile.

A majestic marathon. Maybe the second hardest but second most beautiful in the U.S.
Time 4:20. Finished 9th in my age group (35-39). Best age group finish ever.
This marathon was perfect for me. Hills, trails, ocean views, outdoor minded people.
I will post a full race report shortly.
