Eugene Marathon Race Report May 2 - May 8

Woke up at 4:30 am  I ate 2 toast bread with a Gatorade and just sat and watch t.v. while I waited for the marathon. Around 6:20 my friend James Longoria from Eugene drove me to the start which was approximately 6 blocks away. I ate a pack of sports beans and took two packs with me to consume throughout the race. I wore a beanie hat, gloves and compression socks plus uniform... threw away beanie hat at mile 7 and gloves 1 at mile 4 and 1 at mile 10...

Placed 10th overall with a new personal record of 2:30:48

The course has 3 small uphills I remember throughout the whole race 1 @ 4 , 1@8 or 9 and 1 @ 17 over a bridge.

I'm so close to break 2:30 I have a feeling that my next marathon will be a 2:28.... I just feel it....

Weather was great
Course was fast and flat
The air was superb!!!
