Marathon #5

This was a lot of fun and a lot of work:

This was my fifth full marathon walk:

According to my watch, it was also the least draining, judging by my body battery score this morning:

For comparison, here are the previous two years:

This year, I rested a bit more, and more aggressively managed my heart rate. I also got a lot of good sleep earlier in the week. However, as this year was considerably warmer than last year, these mitigations meant it took a bit longer. Oddly, it was slightly cooler in 2023, but there were other factors that I discussed at the time (and which you can see in the charts above).

I would have preferred to do this year's walk two weeks from now. Sadly there were scheduling issues that made yesterday the only viable option. Next year, it'll be October 16th or 23rd.

I will now take another nap.

Oh, almost forgot the obligatory Baha'i Temple photo:
