It was kinda busy around Greenlake and I had to dodge people but I got loads and loads of smiles and high fives and I KNOW for a fact it was because I was #69!!! I was ROCKING that number! Hehehhe. I did quite well on the run considering I felt I couldn't breathe.

Warm down:

I just sat down and chatted to Nick and Rachel and some other folks I knew.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight. Sickness.
