  • Comments: I want to give a big pat on the back to Aaron and Haley, you guys rock! Thanks for being there to suppoert us all during and after the run. Also to Renee for coordnating the Dinner the night before. Wendi for coming back and running that last little bit to get me finished. Trixie for peeing on the road twice before the race, ok so that really didnt do anything than make me laugh and take the tension off before the race. Also have to say it was fun to give out beers to people that finished. The suprised look on their faces when you asked them and then they were like we gave them the key to the city. Also a shout out to Ron, for this site. Man when you read these race reports you have to be so proud that all of these people can get together (because of you) and hang out, get to know each other (other than on the threads), and run a race. Ron hats off to you....

  • Comments: Can't be happier with the way this race was handled. Weather delays suck, but that's ok, I'd rather have a delay than stress because of the weather. Last year at Disney, I ran 4:30:55. My per mile pace was about 10:24. I went out way too fast, at about 8:20 per mile for my first half, and because of this I hit the wall HARD at mile 16. Not here. I went out faster (7:xx per mile) and only stopped twice to walk, while I believe I stopped for at least 40 minutes during Disney. I knocked 24 minutes off my last marathon time. My goal was to finish at 4:15 or better...well I'm super thrilled with the 4:07 that I did. I am so blessed to have such great people surrounding me at these events. Every single BTer there was a joy to meet and get crazy with! Can't wait for next year!
