My last post was missing a few important facts and figures. Here’s one of the pictures from the Marathon (the poor quality is due to the fact that I ripped it from the site that normally would be selling it to me at 11€).

Plus a couple of bonus graphs of my speed throughout the race! This is measured in minutes per kilometer, so the higher the line, the slower I was running. You can see that I had a big spike five kilometers into the race — this is where an unfortunately bottleneck in the course forced us all to stop and walk for about 40 seconds. The effect was longer than that, since it takes quite a long time for the runners to reposition themselves in well-spaced, comfortably paced groupings.

Compared to 2008, you can see that I was quite a bit more consistent.
