Thanks Michelle!!
How was your NYC experience?
I just hope I can do it again, loved it!!!!
It was kind of funny to find out that I was registered for IMFL 2011 as I crossed the finish line in NY. I was in so much pain, I didn't know if to be happy or cry!!!!
Keep up the good work. To bad you won't be doing Florida next year. Hope to meet you somewhere in a good race.
Happy Holidays!!! Enjoy the Off-Season!!!

Man, I never would have thought it was a hilly race.  That's an awesome pace to keep for 26.2 miles. Now prepare to do this AFTER a 2.6 mi swim and 112 mi bike.  You have one yr to receover, train and prepare.  Good luck in FL in November!!!
