First of all, you know that you have run too many marathons when you start critiquing the origanization of the event. Second, this was by far the least runner friendly marathon I've done. There was no on course entertainment, there were very few spectator areas, it was a mile walk to the start line, and to leave the finish area you had to climb a long stair case. They didn't even give out water at the end. You could get a cup if you wanted to wait in line for half an hour but I couldn't be bothered. I did get my race bag where they gave me....drum roll..... Tuna!!!!... With beans!!!... I was not impressed.
What was great was that I wore the Melbourne university shirt so the gave me a free cheese platter, power aide, and muffins. My housemate and her boyfriend were fabulous as well. Very sweet, caring and helpful all day. They took me out to lunch, carried my supplies, cheered for me and made me pancakes!
Aside from the marathon I was utterly useless today. Just relaxing, reading, sleeping, and watching tangled.
Can't wait to walk around the clinic tomorrow....
