Three Forts Marathon 2010

On Sunday, I ran the Three Forts Marathon for the third time (previously in 2007 and 2009).
This time I ran with Leo, my PTL team-mate from "The Chameleons" in 2009 and "Two Chameleons" in 2010. The least I can say is that the weather was not really with us: steady drizzle and occasional heavy showers seasoned with decent wind in the last hour. I'm happy I took my waterproof running jacket. Adverse weather is also part of the training. Nevertheless, for the first time I managed to run it without any trouble, although at a slower pace. Even my Salomon trail shoes didn't give me any trouble this time! I finished in 4:14:04, ranking 33rd out of 162 on the finish line.
Whereas in 2009 this was my first event of the year, this is already my second marathon and fourth event overall (Hyde Park Relays, Cambridge Boundary Run, Hardmoors 55).

My friends said the weather was not great. A total contrast to the fine weather of last year. Well done on an excellent performance, mate.
