I ran the New York City Marathon! It was, without a doubt, the hardest physical feat of my life — harder than my first marathon last year and harder than the triathlon earlier this year. This is my marathon story. What went well, some highlights of the race, and what I could improve next time.
Huge congrats! Been there with the thigh chaffing brother, vaseline does the job, definitely feels wrong when you're lubing the area up but can't argue with the results. Vaseline also does the job for any wetsuit chaffing too. Vaseline, sponsor me? I trying to remember when I last ran a marathon and I think it's now been over 4 years since I ran one (which seems like a crazy lull when I think about it) but I have in mind a little comeback race in June 2024 hopefully. Still loving these little posts of yours.
