SanDiego was gorgeous, Marathons are hard and I wanna do another one!!
I expected to see more barefooters or at least Vibram wearers, but I saw no other Barefoot and I think we have more min-runners in Texas!
It took me 6hrs 21min in spite of being on track at the half with 2hrs 31min. My faster 2nd half did not happen! LOL! I got no blisters and my feet actually felt fine, but tired by the end. All the down hill in the race killed my quads, though. Getting on and off the toilet for the next few days sucked!! We walked around sea world the following day to loosen up. You could spot all is marathoners all over the park by our walk! Haha!
Being the only one Barefoot in a Kilt in the race made it pretty fun! I had several people ask to take my picture, more who didn't ask first, lots of people who wanted to talk to me about my feet and a surprising number who wanted to know what was under the kilt! Haha! I got to start and finish with my wife and although it was really hard, it was also a lot of fun. I have to do another to set a better time. Maybe in December... I'll post some pics when I get a sec.
