Day 3 - Saturday in Berlin

After we each slept about 10 hours we think we are rested. I did a very short run from the hotel to make sure my legs were going to be ready for tomorrow.
We walked to the start / finish line of the marathon. The 5 km shake out race was taking place which was fun to see how many runners were participating.
We found the participant entrance point for tomorrow morning and the area where I will hopefully find Bob after I finish.
We then took the subway back to the hotel and found another nice coffee shop.
Weather is cool but the sun is shining. The winds are starting to ease. Hopefully tomorrow they will be less but it’s going to be chilly at the start. No rain forecasted which is great.
There are over 58,000 runners tomorrow. I am in H corral which means I should be going off at 10 am. I bought a throw away fleece to donate at the race start so I don’t freeze during the 90 minutes I am waiting for my start. Berlin marathon has an App if anyone wants to track me. I am race #77273. Bob is going to be able to take transit around the city and spot me hopefully during the day. Thanks for all the well wishes.
It is now 5:30 pm, dinner is done, gear is ready. Marathon #63 here I come.Leia mais
