Brownies and The Memphis Marathon (#2)














When
: December, 2000.
Who: Brett Bartlett and Tim O'Neil (with the wives in support)
Recall: No Elvis at Graceland, stopping at Church's Chicken to buy a Dr. Pepper at mile 18, taking a brownie from a hippie at mile 21, finishing inside The Pyramid.
Overall: This was the old course that went south to Graceland and then back to The Pyramid. We had rolling hills and a head wind coming back. (Not good.) No IT band problems so I ran faster than at Top of Utah but it's easy to improve upon slow. Tim O'Neil is also from Charleston so I finished third in my city. Again, Brett just missed qualifying for Boston. Bummer.
Rating: 4/5 carbs (mostly for the stories).
