the stitch killed me. But I was determined to come in under 1:30:00 and I made it just over by 0.3 seconds! :)

I don't know. I was wet and cold and that stitch killed me.
Post race
Warm down:

I met the Nor'Easter team and eventually joined them as a team member through Peak Performance in Portland, Maine.

I had a bagel and something else. A Nor'Easter told me there were massages. OMG. Best part ever!

I think I had a donut.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The wet, cold, and stitch.

Event comments:

The massage was killer. Then I had to drive home! :)
