Hello everyone this is Mike Karl. I wanted to send a message to Thank You ALL for your incredible support during Sean and my adventure over the past 7 years. 🧡
Trust me, I wasn’t doing this alone…knowing what Sean went through and remembering his fight helped me countless times. 🏃🏻♂️
Having the support of my wife Laurie, our boys and you all as a community also fueled my desire to finish this journey. 👍🏻 😀
Now, for the fun facts:
*Duration: 50 Marathons/82 Months
*Hardest: Crater Lake, OR
*Easiest: Melbourne, FL
*Best Time: 3:01 or 6:55/mile (Florida)
*Slowest: NYC, 3:35 (sooo hot and humid) 😫
*Average Overall Marathon Time: 3:11 or 7:17/mile
*Most Painful: Provo Utah…26.2 miles of downhill, ouch! 😳
*Overall Race Winner: 3x’s 🏅
*Overall age group winner: 39x’s
*Crazy Moment: Switching to Bike Ride Across America during Covid as marathons were stopped! 🤪 🚴♂️
I hope you enjoyed following the journey as much as I enjoyed having your support!
I’m looking forward to Sean and my next adventure’s 😄
