At the Hop

Thank you all for your very kind words of encouragement for my marathon today.I was aiming for 3h30 and did some 7 minutes more, 

The first time that I have done a marathon that runs 2 loops. The first half was quite good but then those who were doing the half marathon sprinted off to the finish whilst we had another 21k to go, The support was good though, The Swiss Germans have this encouraging word of support: "Hopp". My name was on my dossard , so I kept hearing: Hopp Hopp Phil.

So shuffled home to  the finish, Getting too old for this maybe.

View is of Luzern again.
Extra is Léo with my medal


At the Hopp!
