Considering I had a cold this week I am so happy with our team. We were about 50 minutes faster than last year and finally broke our record.

Event comments:

This would be a great marathon to try to run, very, very challenging. It would be like running a cross-country marathon. I did the whole thing this year with 40 lbs. in my pack. It felt better than last year and I felt better prepared.
