Because I smell and really need to shower. Then go back to the bar.
It was fun. More fun than not fun, so fun wins. The first hour and 50 minutes were great. The last hour was fun, too.
Not sure what happened between 13-20. I guess my wall came a little earlier than most people? I am proud to say that even though there was lots of walking, some crying, I didn't quit, as I had planned. I even asked the med tent at mile 15 "How do I quit this thing?" He gave me ONE Tylenol and told me to keep going....yea buddy, that's really gonna help :)
My hip hurt the entire way. The downhills KILLED it.
Am elated to have finished, sorta bummed that I cracked mentally and took that it took me so long to get it back together, especially bc I was in the worst of it on 1st, where I should have had the most fun. But hey, it was my first try, right?
More later, when we can laugh together at my splits, with color commentary, of course!
Congratulations! You have a lot to be proud of today! Sounds like you fought through a pretty tough situation, but you did fight through it. Now get some rest - and a few more drinks! You've earned it
