Yesterday I finished CPH MT 2010 in 3h26m58s - a little disappointing result, but after a Spring with a lot of disappointments, I think the result is pretty fair. And today I am OK, and is considering to do a small training pass later tonight to see if I can recover quicker.
CPH MT had a new route this year - the marathon has grown to 12500 participants, and they has to find a new starting and finishing area to hold all these runners and spectators. So they redesigned the route and with fair amount of success - there was a couple of sharp 90 and 180 degree corners, but we passed more beautiful areas and tourist attractions and there was definitely more people cheering along the route. The latter could have been due to better weather this year. So all in all Sparta had done a good job in planning this race. Looking forward to next years race - and if you are considering to do a marathon, CPH MT should be on your consideration list.
One of my friends decided a couple of days ago to start in this year's race - she has not been practicing for the marathon specifically, but she is in good shape, so I had good faith she would make it. And she did a great race. Finished in 4h08m and ran a negative split - very impressive for a runner not used to these long distances - I must mention, it is her second marathon, but the last one was 10 years ago. Very impressive - Congratulations Lone !!
Next big event is going to be Storebælt Naturmarathon (http://www.naturmaraton.dk/) on June 20th.
