Nothing like finishing a marathon and then going on vacation.
The Star Alliance Lounge at LAX is pretty nice for a lounge in a US airport, although I suspect it's better enjoyed in the daytime than at night, and in my post-race fatigue I managed to miss an entire section of the buffet that had a noodle bar. Which was sad because the veggies and chicken I got were not all that great.
Air Tahiti Nui's business class is the very dated Collins Aerospace Diamond product, but they have a bid-for-business-class option and considering my legs were not particular up to functioning after the morning's abuse, I decided to splurge. Honestly have no idea what the rest of the experience was like as I slept the rest of the way.
