#1 - Pacific Crest Marathon 2005

DATE: Saturday, June 25, 2010
LOCATION: Sunriver, Oregon

It was my first. I had trained for about 6 months. I had no real fear of completing it, a few weeks before I ran 26 miles on my own. I chose Pacific Crest in Sunriver for no specific reason. It looked like a nice place. My mom received a free week long rental at a house in Sunriver so we planned the trip. The weather was awesome, it was sunny and warm, but the trees around Sunriver made it nice and cool. I remember being nervous at the start, and got off to a good start. I had no specific time goal, I just wanted to finish. The whole race I remember thinking to myself that I was doing it. Upon crossing the finish line I saw my family taking pictures and cheering me on. I was so filled with joy and was looking forward to doing it again. My time was 3:51, which was good enough for first place in my age group.
