2011 Gusher Marathon

Retrospective Race Report

After crashing at my first marathon at USA Fit, I wanted to give it another try. At the Gusher, I went out slower, and it paid off.  I ran the whole thing. I remember running past an oil derrick and running on some brick areas.

I remember running towards the end slowly with a couple of guys, one who was wearing what I think was a red bandana and maybe a cowboy hat saying, "We got us a pack going!" I felt like I had been hit with a ton of bricks, but I kept running.

At the time, I thought it was just a okay performance.  As of 2025, it is still my 3rd fastest marathon time. 

I was 3rd place in my age group.  I lost the award in my divorce, which is a great regret.
