did you know that 13.1 miles is also 21.1 kilometers? I feel like the conversions between those two distances should be different, but what do I know?
Joy ran like a champ and apparently was happy and smiling as she flew across the finish line. I, on the other hand, saw Seppo and Josh at mile 12 and promptly started crying, which will really throw off your breathing pace, let me tell you. I did, however, sprint the last quarter mile, which felt great and made me forget about all the different pain centers in my body.
In the end, despite the pain and stiffness, I'm pretty happy about attempting and completing such a long race - not sure I'll do it again, but definitely glad I did it.
In official news, I finished below the 50% mark (41.8%, to be precise) in my gender group. I also tied a 70-year-old Brooklyn man, so that was exciting.
There will be pictures to follow, don't worry.
Thanks to the boys for coming and cheering us on. That was totally awesome.
