Napa Marathon, 2004.

    Unfortunately, not everyone who trained for this one could make it, but those who came definitely had fantastic races all around. Almost everyone had huge PRs in this race, held on a day of perfect weather. Pieter came in second place with a time of 2:29:22, destroying his previous record.  All of the first timers finished, with a couple qualifiers for Boston. Some of us (Ky) even got to race and then enjoy the resorts and wine tasting of Napa afterwards.

Below are some pics, which will be shortly followed by even more pics later.
