Munich Marathon 10.10.2010

I came across my pictures of the Munich Marathon 10.10.10.  The weather was perfect that day.  The rest of the week was cloudy, misty, dreary, rainy and gloomy (not necessarily in that order).  The best part was finishing in the 1972 Olympic Stadium.  The best way to describe the race is with pictures.  Enjoy!

Getting some food at Starbucks before we catch the train to the Olympic Stadium

As we were starting our day, this guy was ending his.

We enter the stadium through the tunnel on the far side of the infield;

Then we come down the back straight (marathoners on the inside of the cones, halfers on the outside);

Round turns 3 and 4, under the ramp and to the finish.

Chillin' before the race.

Not quite 2 miles into the race I stopped to 'carb up'.

Is that a Godinet?

The fastest way to fill cups!

Coming to the final relay station.

Just outside the stadium.

Entering the tunnel.

Fog machines, music and cameras were in full force to make you feel like a rockstar!

Turns 1 and 2.

ISO (sport drink) and water.  Plastic cups are reusable for another day.

No junk food here, just apples and bananas.

Time to climb...
