I was still a bit tired in the morning so didn't get up early to see the marathon leaders go past in person. The race would have been going past the hotel at about the thirteen kilometre mark from around 7:00am and then back again after twenty two kilometres.
After a late start I got the tram and bus up to Harbour Town like previous years. Nike had 40% off so I opted for another pair of Zoom Fly 5 over another pair of Vomero 17. This was called a premium version that came in orange and white dots, but it felt a bit bigger than most Nike size 13. There was nothing good at Asics or any other stores.
I got the bus and tram back to hotel, picking up a lot of the marathon finishers at Southport along the way. I got some lunch while watching the marathon stream replay this time, with many commercial breaks because it was also on live TV at the same time. There was much better weather for the races on today, a bit of sun and no rain, and less wind too.
I was finally planning to try a bit of running by mid-afternoon but the rain had just started again. It was just a brief patch of rain but there wasn't much sun afterwards, although good enough to go out for a run. Somehow I managed to get thirteen kilometres completed along the beach footpath, although one section was closed off again.
I was having lots of leg cramps particularly in the beginning, and near the end saw Moneghetti going back the other way. I got my Pegasus 36 shoes up to 742 kilometres, so just about ready to be thrown out before heading home tomorrow.
I got some Subway for dinner but still no soccer highlights online for the first time in the whole tournament strangely. There was a very conveniently located 7-eleven at the ground floor of the hotel, and the automatic drink machine producing smoothies was operational too. That was it for the day, back to the hotel room to pack for the monring.
