Vertical Marathon The Banyan Tree

In August I signed up to do vertical marathon with a lady in my building.  Lyndsey was new to the building and at this time I did not know a European running champion who wins every race she enters.  I also did not know what it was, I do now!  It is a race up 64 flights of stairs, well this one was, up the building seen below. The tall one.  I did not prepare as much as I should have and I certainly should not have gone out the night before.  BUT I did manage to come 10/70 for my age group (taking 12 minutes), and my age group started at 35! So I felt pretty good about it.  Lyndsey won, her age category and the event 7.5 minutes!

Made it!




We then went to a kids lunch.  Free activities for the kids with a brilliant magic show.

And then back home for a pool party!
