Sure, I was drinking, but not on any specific plan. I need to work on that. - Know your limits - I had a plan - 9 minute miles.

  • Comments: Great support from the race folks. Very well run race. Race is over!!! I am recovering very well. Little soreness in the muscles, but nothing major. Wow. Thought it would take me days to be able to walk again.
