Veni, Vidi, Vici!!!

Maratona di Roma was a success, with close to 15,000 participants!!  

It was my 2nd International Marathon and I accomplished my Personal Best running time! :)))

I wasn't the fastest but I had the best tan! ;))) 

Paul (Italy) was my pacer from mid-way on, and then I finished with Massimo (Italy).  

The route of the marathon was truly spectacular!! Magnifique!!!

We started at the Colosseum and ended at the Colosseum.  Everything was well organized - sponge stops, water, gatorade and food stops on every 5 km or so. But the most spectacular side of the marathon was definitely the scenery of the eternal city of Rome!

...more to come...
