Literally doesn’t even begin to show how AWFUL the back half hills are. I cannot believe I thought this course was okay to be my first marathon. Holy shiznit
Agreed - LOL. They had a sign that said "Welcome to The Hill", with a big smiley face on it!! Miles 13-18 were brutal. That's where everything went downhill for me. My last 6 miles were faster than 13-18 were.
@@PittsburghMarathon My first marathon. The environment was fantastic. The people cheering, handing out snacks, drinks, etc were amazing. I am so glad that I did this!
First half is pure excitement and adrenaline, second half is the grit within
5:45 we blew that redlight lol
Red lights can be very subjective!
Is it the same course as every year?
oh it's gettin' REAL real now
Yes! Marathon weekend is so close!
is there a video like this for the half??
I guess I'm really doing this. Okeechobee 🎉
Leonard you've got this!!! We can't wait to see you at the finish line!
Any ideas where to park so that the exhausted runner can get to the car without walking another couple miles? Will the T be running?
I’m done 2:18 mins in….only doing the 5k….😂😂😂😂. Hope it’s all flat ground!
5k is still something to be very proud of! We are glad you're joining us! Flat ground TBD :)
Is this the same course as 2023?
Looks like it
