This past Sunday I had the pleasure of my first snowfree marathon in 2010. At the same time I opened up the season for big city marathons namely by completing Barcelona marathon.

I can’t hide the fact that I found the route a bit boring but this experience could in part perhaps be explained by the lack of (more) spectators. It was quite cold but clear and windfree weather and incredibly, Barcelona had tons of snow the very days after the race ! Well I enjoyed passing the famous Casa Batllo…

… and even more so Sagdrada Familia, both creations of the brilliant architect Gaudi.

Furthermore, I completed the race in my Spiderman suit which is always a cheerful experience and a real crowd pleaser.
