Last Sunday saw 15 of us Twentysixers in Sacramento to enjoy the marathon. What a perfect day! Nice and cold. The course way a gentle rolling tour from Folsom dam to our state’s capitol.

We all met at the crack of dawn to catch the bus to the start line

A little crowded at the beginning but it thinned out pretty quick

 

There was plenty of crowd support and the race was very organized. A great race to PR or qualify for Boston.

Everyone who started the race finished and was able to enjoy the traditional post race feeding frenzy.

Several people ran their best races ever, Laura, Laurie, Phyllis, Catherine and Art all set personal records. We also had two first timers, Bonnie and Tony (although Tony did run an ultra before he attempted the marathon) Both finished in fine style and learned quite a bit from the race.

We all had a great time in Sacramento and even had energy after the race for a walking tour of Old Town Sacramento complete with tom foolery.
