I got so pissed when I saw a few folks drafting each other but I guess it was better than seeing hardly anyone. You are a real trooper to keep going on your own as you did. All that training you did paid off. <br /><br />So wonderful to meet you at the race and get to know you better. If there are any photos I have posted on my blog that you would like, just let me know. I will send you the originals which are higher res than those I posted.<br /><br />Hope you are resting and recovering well!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21068000.post-10464249968413927332009-11-10T16:25:16.514-05:002009-11-10T16:25:16.514-05:00The run course was lovely during the day but sever...The run course was lovely during the day but several times I thought how much of an obstacle course it would be in the dark! I was very thankful to only be doing half of the miles you did. I thought I already respected the iron distance, but wow, do I have a new found appreciation for it now. You rocked it! You dug deep inside and found the iron to finish. I am honored to have been racing with you - even if we didn't get to meet in person!
