Itinerary description
Not the easiest marathon. Fortunately they start this run at 5am. The heat and humidty are the major problems here. Fortunately there is lots of shade on the route. The two laps are identical so you know what is coming when you start the second lap and hopefully you have not overdone it on the first lap. In the last km you have the last hill of about 400m before you get to the finish line. Reminds me of the finish of Wally Hayward.
The design of the route could be used by some people to cheat because there is no monitoring to check that you go to all the extremities.

My first marathon at 4:09.
The hills on the second lap appear to grow!
Well done. On the second lap the hills don't seem to be as easy as the first time.
I think I have to a a buddy request each time to it shows that I have done one of your routes.
Were you not able to down load the route to your watch to find the "white house" - the path up is small and you have to know what you are looking for....
