Arizona (Tucson Marathon) 12/13/09

Decided 4 days prior to the race to register. Had to fly to Phoenix and drive but it was an easy drive. I met several gals that run in the same running group that were there to run as well. A couple were doing the full and another doing the half. Thanks Michelle & Joyce for staying out there on the course to cheer us on as we finished up.

This course can be really fast under the right conditions. There are several rolling hills in the first 9 miles but then it is a gradual downhill to mile 25. Unfortunalty we didn't have the right conditions. Once again Mother Nature decided to throw us a curve ball. We had 25-30kt headwinds to fight the whole way. It took all the downhill advantage and threw it right out the window. Oh well another State done and time to take a couple weeks off before the holidays.
