A few of our friends participated in the half marathon, and their results were as follows:
1:29:09 Daulot Fountain, Seattle 1:39:05 Ron Warner, Tacoma 1:39:32 Pat Warner, Tacoma 1:41:15 Ron Nicholl, Gig Harbor 1:43:25 Sue Cammack, Albany, OR My race went fine for 10K, and I was moving up in the field slowly when I "hit the wall." I'm used to doing this in the last 10K but not twenty miles from the finish. I dropped from an initial 8 minute pace to 10-11 minutes per mile in the second half of the race. Although I had raced a 1:48:45 (8:18) at the Super Jock and Jill Half Marathon five days earlier, I felt fine --- but my legs wouldn't work! At any rate, I finished with a 4:17:05 (9:51), 67th of 104 starters and first 65-69M. Now that I have this long run out of the way, I look forward to the Portland Marathon with anticipation.

The Skagit Flats Marathon opens the fall marathon season in the Northwest. At the starting line on September 12, 1998, as 104 marathoners
lined up with nearly 200 half marathoners in Burlington, WA, some of
us looked at the maritime cloud cover overhead and wondered how much
time we had before it evaporated and we would be running under sunny
skies. As it developed, we had three hours of cloud cover, and the
daily temperature maximum would not exceed 73' F. It turned out to
be a good day for long distance running.
