I mean you really just achieved an amazing accomplishment which soooo many others will never be able to say they've done, even if it wasn't the experience you hoped for.<BR/><BR/>I can say this because I've been upset and mopey about my recent race and some good RBF's have had the sense to point out that sometimes it doesn't go right, but it went and that counts for a lot.RunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605861368098862024.post-13992448288671393422007-10-23T22:05:00.000-05:002007-10-23T22:05:00.000-05:00J--The course did change from 2006, but the hills ...J--The course did change from 2006, but the hills were still there!sRodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970952645043027136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605861368098862024.post-74514913799800456882007-10-23T12:23:00.000-05:002007-10-23T12:23:00.000-05:00LOL! What a great report! A few things. First, s...LOL! What a great report! A few things. First, starting out too fast is not only relegated to the inexperienced. We ALL do it. And it sucks.<BR/><BR/>Second, when I read you were doing this, I said to my husband, "uhhh... this guy is doing Baltimore... isn't that the one that our friend Jim Adams gave me a shirt from and it had all these hills in it?" and he said, "the course changed and it's not that bad." And I said, "uh... maybe I should let this guy know?" and he said, "uh... hmmm... maybe you shouldn't." And so, I didn't. You are probably glad I didn't!<BR/><BR/>Third of all... I think that ecstacy could have helped with recovery given that you couldn't snag a bag of saline. LOL!<BR/><BR/>And last but not least, CONGRATULATIONS! A great run, a great time - in clock, net, and fun. <BR/><BR/>So, uh... which race you gonna do next? :o)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887770909792933948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605861368098862024.post-3224353469167876762007-10-22T15:42:00.000-05:002007-10-22T15:42:00.000-05:00Way to go!
