Managed to beat my estimate and finished in about 2hr 29(ish) min!!! Seriously lost my wheels at mile 11 and thank God for my coaches & mentors b/c they pulled me thru! We had to do a porta-potty stop at mile 7 and I walked maybe 1mile (if that) while I was losing my mind/lead legs/hyperventilating/crying. But my saviors pulled me thru and I finished!!! OMG- it is an experience that will be crystalized in my mind forever!

WHo cares what went down between mile 1 and mile 13.  Those miles are what you call learning experiences.  The thing to go away from this is that you CROSSED THE FINISH LINE!  you are stronger than you probably believed and proved to  your worst crtitc (you) that you are a new person.

 

Awesome job!  now post the BLING!

I'm already registered for the Rock & Roll USA Half in DC & starting back up training this week (hopefully my half-black toenail agrees with that!)
