Marathon Day!


The race begins with fireworks just before 5 am.

The first hour and a half of the race is run in the dark, through downtown Waikiki.

We run along the side of Diamond Head. After a few morning showers, the day becomes warm and bright with high puffy clouds.

I pose at the end of the race with my Finisher's T-Shirt, shell lei and Finisher's Medal. I won't get my official time until tomorrow, but according to my stopwatch, I finished in about 6 hours, 57 minutes. I'm thrilled to have finished in just under seven hours! I'm tired and sore and sunburned, but very happy. I had a great time!
