At the start of 2022 I decided to do a marathon in November. I did most of my training in Chicago where the sum of the elevation change of my training runs was +-500ft. Come to find out, Nashville has hills! That surprise and the 40 degrees (plus sleet) made for a ruthless first marathon. I guess it’s all down hill from here.

The cameraman apparently got cold and took off before the marathon runners finished, so this screenshot of a youtube video will have to suffice.
