On your marks...
Staying strong at mile 5...
The final hill (2 miles long, but who's counting?!) Please, no pictures...
Kickin' in to the finish line... With a time of 2:03:01.
It was humbling to be running with awesome first-timers (Cat & Erin), to be cheered on by a bestie who inspired me by recently completing her first half (Allyson)--not to mention several Ironmen (Greg, Becky & Ray). And it was amazing to be there with Talva, who passed me twice and looked impossibly strong as she completed the full marathon in about 3:31, achieving Cheetah status (running a mara in under 4:00 in all 50 states). What an incredible day!
I laid around and did nothing for the balance of it, in case you were wondering. ;)
Expert photographer and cheerer-onner, Greg:
The incredible Allyson. She always makes my day!
