San Diego Rock'n'Roll Marathon














Official Result: 
Time: 4:05:58 hrs.
Distance: 26.2 mi.
Pace: 9:23 min./mi.
Overall Place: 1935 of 8267
Men Place: 1322 of 4267
Men 35-39 Place: 228 of 709

"Real Result":
Time: 4:05:58 hrs.
Distance:27.6 mi.
Pace: 8:53 min./mi.

Why?
Ran an extra 1.4 miles due to the confusing course marking and event organization. The 32,000 Marathoners and Half-Marathoners got merged and split over and over again and I ended up running a loop which was only to be run by the Half-Marathoners ... Thanks RD! This could have been my first marathon with a time under 4 hours!

Less than 20 spots left for the 100EC Ultra-Marathon

Yes, that’s right, this year’s race will sell out soon! We opened registration only one week ago and now less than 20 spots are left. Register now, or you will miss the opportunity to be part of the 100-Mile Endurance Challenge (100EC).
The 100EC Ultra-Marathon offers an ideal course for all – the experienced 100-Mile Ultra-Runner who wants to set a new PR, as well as for the athlete who has done shorter races before and now wants to attempt to run 100 miles for the first time (and everybody in between). The event starts in Corona (CA) on October 22 at 8:30am and finishes the next day at the Santa Monica Pier. The route will take you through three counties and 20 cities. For more information, please visit www.100ec.org/learnmore.
Note: All proceeds of the 100EC benefit the 100 MileClub – a non profit organization with over 30,000 members whose focus is addressing childhood obesity one school at a time. All participants must raise at least $100 in tax-deductible contributions. Please make sure to check the box next to “Become a Fundraiser” during the registration process!
