Big Sur International Marathon, Big Sur to Carmel, California. April 28, 2002

I trained on hills like a maniac for this race. It paid off, even though I only ran 4:40:xx - it would probably have been a PW without all that hill training.

Race start Photo taken on the run Interesting little formation off shore
I'll always remember those Cypress trees School bands/orchestras entertained the runners Hills ahead
Hurricane Point (benign today) in the distance About to start the long climb: Taiko drummers lend inspiration After the crest - downhill to Bixby Bridge
About to cross that famous landmark Pacific shoreline below the bridge It takes some brass to run this marathon!
Welcome downhill after the half way point Singers serenade shufflers Downhill in the Carmel Highlands
Belly dancers before the last big hill I avoided this guy's fate, at least for today Relay runners: belly dancer wannabees?
Almost finished Obligatory Stan Laurel pose, wrapped in my space blanket Runners milling about near the sweats retrieval area
Another Stan Laurel pose
