2009 Tecumseh Trail Marathon

Finish: 4:35:27

This was my first ever marathon and what a race to choose for my first. The climbing and terrain was rough on this race, but so rewarding. The course is near Nashville Indiana in an area known for hilly terrain.

I trained really hard for this first race, I think me and my race partner put in over 600 miles in training. I trained so hard for this I got shingles about a month from the race date, dropping below 180 lbs for the first time in my adult life. Was able to recover from that but man... do not get shingles.

I recorded this race on a Garmin watch but unfornuately I don't have the GPX file anymore, and can't find it on Garmin's website any longer.

I recall hitting the 26.2 mile mark, exhausted with the finish line nowhere in site. It ended up coming out to about 27.5 miles total.
