Brutual conditions as the rain started at 7 AM and made the trails extremely muddy and eventually turned some of them into running streams of water! In the 50 miler only 3 of 47 finished.

43 Wineglass Marathon 10/03/10 Corning NY 3:56:30 Marathon 1052 651/ 1486   77/ 109 2nd marathon of a weekend double. First time, going under 4 hours in both races and very happy with the result. Great medal and shirt. Post race spread was excellent. The course was okay, running in the countryside and through small towns. Its a good PB course. Not sure it should be rated one of the ten fasted in the USA though
42 Freedom's Run Marathon 10/02/10 Shepherdstown WV 3:46:05 Marathon 16 87/ 564     If you are a cival war buff, this is a great course. It runs through 4 national parks and finishes at the local University Football field. Medal isn't great, but every other aspect of the race is top notch. This was the first of a weekend double, on a very challenging course. First 14 miles flat, next 12 had rolling hills along with a couple of tough climbs.
41 Toronto Waterfront Marathon 09/26/10 Toronto ON 4:37:11 Marathon 1503 1918   215 I was the 4 hour 30 minute pacer. This was the perfect weather with very little wind, mid teen's at the start. I ran an even pace and had a group of about 30 at one point. Its great to see that some people running with me were able to PB today.
40 Reykjavik Marathon 08/21/10 Reykjavik Iceland 4:28:00 Marathon 275 387/ 565     Paced my wife to come in under 4:30. This was a windy course with nice views of the ocean and mountains. A little bit too much running through the parks for my liking and way too much wind.
39 Helsinki City Marathon 08/14/10 Helsinki Finland 3:51:52 Marathon 2753 878/ 5094     Hot afternoon race. Started at 3 PM and was about 27 Celcius. Nice course that started and finished outside the 1954 Olympic Stadium.

37 Cleveland Marathon 05/16/10 Cleveland OH 3:42:12 Marathon 1008 473/ 2310 391/ 1441 61/ 220 Great weather and a pretty even split. Not my fasted race, but a felt great throughout.
36 Waterloo Marathon 04/25/10 Waterloo ON 3:49:23 Marathon 85 58/ 155 46/ 106 15/ 24 This was probably the mosty windy / rainy day I have run a race in. It was about 10 celcius at the start and pouring rain. Wind out on the country roads was brutal. I am happy with my finish
35 Disney World Marathon 01/10/10 Disney World Resort FL 4:06:54 Marathon 1620 2484/ 16883 1845/ 8731 391/ 1633 I love the race. Disney puts on a great event. I think a few factors played into this disappointing time; A 6 AM flight the day before, stress fracture caused me to eliminate speed training for most of 2009; Long Slow Runs getting ready for the 50 miler. Lack of consistant training from Nov 22 - Jan 9th !!
34 JFK 50 11/21/09 Williamsport MD 10:08:53 50 mi 719 425/ 1016   103/ 212 My first 50 miler!!! Great day for late November. The experience was so fun, I think another 50 miler is in my future

19 Eisenhower Marathon 04/05/08 Abilene KS 3:48:09 Marathon   44/ 153 34/ 108 6/ 15 Out and back course. The wind was a factor. In your face for the first half and at your back for the second half. Town really supports its marathon. Course fully closed to traffic and aid stations every mile.
