554...Number of females who beat me.


28...Number of females in my age group who I beat. (The rest must have overslept)

Yay you! I could never see myself running unless I was being chased by something large and angry.

I'd imagine the cooler than usual weather was a good thing after running for so long? I like that you got free t-shirts and beer at the end too.

Anne-Marie: When we did this race last year, it was hot and muggy. I really do think that the cold weather helped us run a bit faster, as we were less fatigued (but more miserable.)
