We rolled back into Maine tonight after an incredible weekend of anticipation, nerves, support, hard work, determination, grit, pain, suffering, relief, joy, pride, and so much love from friends and family.
I'll write my race report out...soon. Very soon.
But here's the scoop in a nutshell.
Finish Time:
10:19.21
7th Woman finisher of the race - Pros and amateurs combined.
2nd Woman Amateur to Finish
and
1st place in my Division
I'm not sure I can put into words how all of this felt on Sunday. But as I try to stand up off this couch and get into my bed right now, it's possible my neighbors will HEAR how I feel Now!! OUCH!
I spent every last cent that was in my bank. I'm broke. I'm bankrupt. Nothing was left out there.
It was a Great great day.
