A] the LA marathon that I ran in march went _HORRIBLY_... turns out i had food poisoning or something + was throwing up all night- Not an ideal condition to be in, when running a marathon + could it have something to do with it being #13? Who knows? I will say that with some delirious freak kick, I managed ~a 2:30 last half mile... not that it mattered.
So yeah... 3:47:06- even WORSE than my VERY FIRST marathon ever, which was 3:37:13.
As far as the course went- Quick run down= It was incredibly hilly, congested, and winding @ the start.
It settled into rolling hills through hollywood, west LA, and santa monica after that, which were nice, but not nearly as nice as the fast/ downhill course they promoted it as. Regardless, I don't think I could have run any course respectable that day.
