LOCATION: Lake Tahoe, California
My plan was to do the Portland Marathon, but my aunt (who lives in California) suggested that I do the Lake Tahoe Marathon. I agreed and my mom and I flew to California (she and my aunt did the 20 mile walk). We rented a house in Tahoe City (near the finish). I did not know much about the race; it ended up being a very challenging course. I really wasn’t ready for the hills or the altitude. I started out too fast, and hit the “wall” and ended up walking quite a bit towards the end. But I managed to sill break 4 hours. After the race we relaxed on the beach before heading back home. On the bus ride to the start line, I sat near a guy who was running the triple marathon. At first I was like “whatever”, but now having done a few triples, I would love to go back and do the triple.
