"It took me 5 years to break 5 hours in the Cleveland Marathon. It took me 33 years to break 3 hours in it today - 2:59:43!
33 years to break 3 Hours in the Cleveland Marathon!
I may have been the last person across the finish line today in under 3 hours.
That’s 2 hours 10 minutes and 23 seconds off my original time of 5:10:06 from 1991. Today wasn’t my fastest marathon of all time but it was my fastest Cleveland Marathon of all time.
The marathon is gritty. With all my ultras I sort of forgot how to run it. It really requires concentration and the final 6 miles I really had to break the race down and focus only at the the mile I was on, aiming for the next aid station. At times it was the next place I could see on the horizon or even 100 meter increment. I truly didn’t know I would make it until the final 50 meters." - Harvey
33 years! Really is a bit emotional in a good way for me, imagining all the history and struggle across tens of thousands of miles.
