LOCATION: Bellevue, Washington
My goal was to run my first double in August of 2007, by running Crater
Lake and Haulin Apsen. So when I heard about the SEAFAIR Marathon in July, just five days after Foot Traffic Flat, I thought it would be a good test for a double. At this point I had never run in back-to-back weekends let alone within one week. I drove up to the Seattle area on Saturday, and stayed at a Motel 6 in Kirkland that night. One of the reasons I wanted to do this race is that I knew there would be a lot of Maniacs and I knew it would be a good time. The race went well for me. I enjoyed the course in seeing parts of the Seattle area that I haven’t seen before. I didn’t really have any time goals, but it did get quite warm towards the end of the race, and I saw many people slowing down to a walk. I still felt strong at the end, but did manage to run the whole time. My time was 3:43 and I enjoyed meeting and chatting with Maniacs at the finish. A fun race!
