The 30th Honolulu Marathon (Year 2002):
This was my first marathon run. It was indeed an undisputed human
challenge. It took me 4 hr 26 min. I hit the "wall"
at 17.5 miles and struggled the rest of 8.7 miles. It was a excruciating
experience but awesome feeling to overcome the pain afterward. It only
took 2 days to recover! Thanks to my kids who massaged my painful legs for expedited recovery.
Also thanks to my wife who unexpectedly showed up at the finish
line. The first 5 pictures were from the Marathonpoto
professionals. I was reluctant to buy those pictures at $15 each but
instead used their free minimum resolution pictures posted at their website to
make my own. The last picture was taken by my wife after I finished the run
and got together to pick up the finishers' T-shirt and the metal. I
am looking forward to running again next year aiming at 4 hours.
