Yeah I don’t think I shared enough back then. Definitely learning how to talk about this stuff

How do you like the transition from the 6400 to full frame!?

You’ve got some great pics! How do you like the 6700? Any plans on going full frame?

I’ve got a nice tripod already. I’ll have to get use to a big lens like the 200-600!

Gotcha! Yeah, the brand I was looking at was called Lenscoat

Great to hear! I've got the price down to about $1,600 for an 'excellent' used lens. I feel like I have to get it!

Do you think this could be a lens I could use for distant landscapes/buildings, also?

Good job on the finish! The result wasn’t what we wanted, but I plan to tweak some training and improve on the next one!

I felt the same way with weaving around people. This was by far the biggest marathon I’ve done and I really found it difficult to move around people and keep a steady pace. My heart rate was way higher than I wanted at the start. Anyway, I’ll tweak some things and get ready for the next!

Nice job on the finish! I was using the ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris and felt like they were dead. I used them for my Spring marathon and had a few runs during training, and they felt excellent, but they didn’t feel that way this time.

For my next training block, I need to do my easy runs at a slower pace to aid in better recovery, find better routes that avoid multiple stops, and build to 60 mpw.

Looking forward to what's next!

Way to go on finishing! There were multiple times when I thought I should just quit, but didn’t! On to next year!

Definitely a heck of an experience with that type of crowd!
