Baden Marathon 2005: Kilometer 24
 

Between the 23-24K point we went over or under a serious of overpasses and underpasses navigating our way through a maze of highways and railroad tracks.

It was here that I started to feel the fast pace that I had been maintaining. My legs had already been protesting against the hard road surfaces that I had been running. This happened during my training too so I ignored it. I did try to slow down a little bit as I was getting kind of worried about burning out.

Karlsruhe is noted for it's large number of "green islands" throughout the city. These parks offer an oasis for all kinds of activities and are usually full of people on the weekend when the weather is nice.
