My chip time was 4:22:10.
According to my Garmin, the course was actually 26.48... So a little longer than 26.2!
I was exhausted at the end, but the race went well. It did rain for the entire 26.2 miles. Of course the rain stopped right as we were finishing and now it's a beautiful afternoon. And so it goes, right? I was pretty nervous about the rain up until when the race started and I made the conscious decision to just freaking let it go and do the best I could!
And that's exactly what I did. I couldn't be happier with my performance.
Full re-cap will come later this week. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Thanks for all the emails, facebook messages, text messages, and even a vlog!!! I am so touched and feel very loved!

Running in the rain is one of my biggest hates. I'd seriously rather run in the cold and snow than rain. So, hats off to you for adopting a good attitude, pushing through and winding up with a great time! Can't wait to hear your recap soon!
