Graham [livejournal.com profile] cola_fan and Alex [livejournal.com profile] oniugnip: ultimate victorious in the Atlanta Marathon 2K6!

Finishing time: 4:18. Speedy!


It was a beautiful day, totally perfect weather. All the volunteers were super-nice, but more importantly, Lauryn [livejournal.com profile] yourusername and Martin [livejournal.com profile] samarin saw us off and Laura [livejournal.com profile] laurapatt was waiting for us at the finish line, totally taking pictures! Aw, thanks guys :) Also, thanks to everybody else who was supportive!

We went out too fast :) We said "let's not go out too fast." We hit the first mile at a bit slower than 9-minute pace, taking our own advice... and then sped up 'til we hit the halfway point at a ridiculously too-quick 1:54. We were like "oh man, let's break 4 hours!" ... eh, you live, you learn :) And your legs seize up a bit in the process.

But still! First marathon, not bad! :)

Wow, that's amazing!  So you really did it, eh?  That's just a great accomplishment.  I thought I'd have a ton of stuff to say about it, but I find that words fail me.  What praise could I possibly type that would not pale in comparison to the fact that you just completed a marathon!

I want to be just like you some day, at least in the whole "completing a marathon" aspect.
