Re: Google Earth view of my Kilimanjaro Marathon

Hmm... the blog didn't like the attachment, so Turtle put it up for download:
http://www.wongat.com/files/Kili-Marathon.kmz

Just right click on that, and save-as, and then open it. If you don't
have Google Earth on your computer, it won't work, and when I try to
show it in google maps it doesn't work, so install Google Earth!

Google Earth view of my Kilimanjaro Marathon

Hey,

I promised a long time ago to post this - I have no idea if the blog
will take a non-jpg attachment but I'll try. Here's the kmz file for
my marathon. You can see everything there is to see about it,
including the excruciatingly slow pace I had :) According to the
Garmin Forerunner, my total ascent was 4606 feet, and since it was a
loop, I descended that much too. I guess that's more than your
average first marathon should have for altitude gain. Too bad the
watch didn't record temperature!
