Comments:

So I didn't sign up for the race because of my shoulder surgery and not being able to run. Then a spot opened up on the relay team for my charity, and I jumped on it! I am glad I did! I had a better "race" than I expected and was faster than I thought I would be. I am so happy that I went. The excitement of racing and the starting line energized me for what is to come hopefully!
What would you do differently?:

Not have surgery?

Warm down:

Wrapped up in my heat blanket and hiked back to the car!
