Notes:

* Not that it matters, but... I've noticed that the first chip reader (at the "start" of the race) can be located as much as 200m *before* the actual starting line, where the race begins for the elite runners. Which means that my chip time can be over 1 minute more than my real time over the official distance. Again, not that it matters (much), but do I wish race organizers were less cagey about these matters.

[1] for real!

[2] my timing. 54:51 total (gun) time, no chip time given.

[3] finally broke the 2 hour barrier, this century...

[4] my shortest race ever, by far. steepest too! 53m up, including 287 stair steps.

[5] total (gun) time, no chip time given. much better than expected feared, after the long break!

[6] nice, but... 50m net descent!

[7] i don't believe the race distance was accurately measured (it's shorter), so i'm not counting this as a PBT10. my gps-based pace was alrite, though.

[8] hot! (30C)

[9] i'm back! slow, yes, but 26 years later i can finally say i'm back!

[10] 2022, the year of the two marathons

[PBT10] Personal Best Time of the last 10 years. yes, i made that up!
