My 2011 LA Marathon - Snippet. Event date: March 20, 2011

The weather was brutal during the LA Marathon.  The rainy downpours were at times torrential rain.  The winds were strong and often were 20+ mph.

I has some bad miles along the way but finished very strong with a new PR on the marathon distance.

I'll try to put together a longer recap as soon as the pics come out.  I left the pic taking to the course photographers as I didn't want to damage my own camera.  I am hoping that a pic or 2 might be good enough.

I was very humbled by the brave volunteers and course spectators who supported the event.  They went thru a different type of endurance challenge supporting the event in such rough weather conditions.
