Subject: RE: Weird Tri DreamsOh, wow, that's how my marathon actually WENT. I left for the city about half an hour later than I intended, and when I got there it was PACKED with thousands of runners and spectators all looking for parking. So I ended up parking blocks and blocks and blocks (these are city blocks, mind ) and running about a mile and a half, maybe two miles, to the starting line. When I get there it's 15 minutes before the gun, and there are maybe 20 port-a-potties for..........I don't know, ten thousand people? So the gun goes off and there are still four or five people AHEAD of me in line, but there's no way I'm starting a marathon when I have to go to the bathroom, and I figure I have a chip anyway so what difference does the gun time really make...........by the time I finally got to the general area of the start, everyone was LONG gone, and I couldn't tell which way I was supposed to go, and started running in the wrong direction! A kindly spectator pointed out to me, "the marathon went THAT way, dear." It was a great start. Thanks for the reminder! :- ) Edited by Angie 2005-04-04 11:58 PM
