Take a look at the course profile. It starts out with a relatively steep downhill to get you going too quickly, then has about 9 miles of downhill before it tosses in a couple of uphills at 22 and 24. Lots of people have done well there, but if you are not disciplined and trained for the downhill, be prepared to be chewed up. That's how I felt at the end this year.

Besides, why would you want to wait until the autumn for your next marathon. Look for something in the spring which allows for a couple of months recovery time from now before you start into the rebuilding program.

Have fun and congrats on the Harrisburg results.
