11 miles, heat is picking up

solar panels

Koyo USA Corp- converting sea water to bottled fresh water

12 miles - notice no cover for miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's dry and hot out here

smell like waste treatment facility

the turn around at 13.1 but nobody's around to cheer you to head back; no computer shoe chip for this small run of only 197 runners

like the rest of Big Island, it's all lava

14 miles after which I surprisingly start to cramp, the soonest of any of the 20 marathons I have run

15 miles

16 miles, still all highway and NO shade

18 miles, still all highway and NO shade

19 miles, still all highway and NO shade

back to civilization

like a little disco!

21 miles

the turn back into seaside Kona resort town
