Chris, I am naturally a runner and this was by far the hardest marathon (open or otherwise) I have ever done. It is def the hardest marathon on the IM circuit and will challenge your every single step. I think the key to this race is to come off the bike as fresh as possible (somewhat difficult with the gradual climb on the bike) to save yourself for the run. The dry air plays tricks on your mind if you are used to training in any humidity at all, and be prepared for the wind on the bike. My suggestion is to stay off running any flats on your training runs. Train to go up or down at all times and you will be well prepared. There really is nothing flat about anything on the run, no exaggeration on that one. I managed to go sub 4 hour marathon but it was still my slowest marathon ever. Just my 2 cents.

Have to live vicariously through others while you can Amy! I will no doubt post updates and pics on Facebook. The craziest thing was getting my confirmation email, IN GERMAN! my grandfather would be so proud! He is from a small German heritage town in Texas where before he passed on was one of only 3 men in the 10k people town that could sit and have a conversation in German every morning at the local diner over coffee.

Amy, you guys are welcome to stay with us in Switzerland. Seriously, we have family there and it'd be super cool.
