Southernmost Marathon 2018

Posted on October 6, 2018July 16, 2019
“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today.” It’s good advice. Like most good advice, it’s easier given than taken. I’m not entirely happy with my performance today at the Southernmost Marathon in Key West, but this is my second time doing it. In 2013 it was the third marathon I ever finished and I was a hot mess. Five years later, with the benefit of 167 more BLTs, I’m still a hot mess, but I finished about 45 minutes faster. So I’ll take a small victory, and keep fighting. The race runs from near Mallory Square down to the southern end of the island eastward to a turnaround on Boca Chica Key and returning to Key West along the north of the island to finish at the start. It is a cool 84 degrees and super flat. Well supported, but bring a headlamp for the 5:30 am start. Fun fact: There is basically no more production of Key Limes in the Keys at all.
Kevin Cochrane took second in his AG.
Well I was going to run fast, but I saw this…
Shirt not even a little practical for running with a giant plastisol image, which is a pity because the shirt itself has a nice texture, pattern, color and feel. Modeled here by some sweaty dope.
Kevin cheeses a smile before the anthem.
It was so dark for most of the start I didn’t take many early pictures.
Claudio a nice Swiss guy I chatted with at the start finished just behind me with his daughter in tow. So cute.
I was WAY too close to the start at the beginning.
The sun rises over the Lower Keys
Bonus fun fact: this is not the original Sloppy Joe’s, that bar is a few doors down to the west. Currently the name is Captain Tony’s Saloon.
The medal. I like the coconut. The ribbon says Marathon/Half Marathon/5k so maybe everyone gets the same one? 🤷🏼‍♂️
It ain’t Key West unless you get a cock pic.
Bib. Two pair.
