I seriously almost spit out some of my coffee when I read the whole bear encounter--priceless!<br /><br />I know you're disappointed, but I think you have a fantastic attitude about this whole thing. I have no doubt you'll be back and will crush 4 hours. No. DOUBT. The marathon is quite an animal. And anytime you hit that finish line, it should be celebrated.<br /><br />You MUST video you and D singing. I need to see that. :)Trisaratopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516116052466206839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-11108197945968858592010-10-06T07:38:30.126-05:002010-10-06T07:38:30.126-05:00Nice work getting though that Chris!

I heard SO many people say their wheels fell off around 18-20 - maybe something was in the air along the river....<br /><br />Nice to briefly see you before your finish!!Steve Stenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-36073825304824584972010-10-05T19:04:11.413-05:002010-10-05T19:04:11.413-05:00I'm glad you enjoyed your race even though it ...I'm glad you enjoyed your race even though it kicked you in the teeth!

At 20 miles they had your estimated finish at 3:45 but I've been at the 20 mile mark a couple times and know it isn't really in my control anymore at that time.<br /><br />I feel that a Marathon is "just" as hard as an IronMan - different game, but 4+ hrs on the pavement is a bit tough.<br /><br /><br />Now your ready for some fall cyclo-cross races!Team Brazohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598078738084339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-23364586728020103782010-10-05T11:49:34.500-05:002010-10-05T11:49:34.500-05:00i feel pride for you. xoxoi feel pride for you. xoxolaura nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-4104091717052972072010-10-05T11:13:11.897-05:002010-10-05T11:13:11.897-05:00Your race reports give me a profound sense that yo...Your race reports give me a profound sense that you do this whole running/racing/LIVING thing the right way. You have your priorities in the right order, and that allows you to dive deep and embrace and understand and enjoy all the parts of this thing that we do, even when the wheels fall off or the bear comes knocking. It's all part of the adventure, and your writing just illustrates it so clearly. Thank you for this. You continue to be my inspiration - 3:50 finish or not! Congrats on a well-fought race. <br /><br />(and the tracking didn't work for me at all - not one msg about you or Steve)UltraMamaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769976707261828456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-6450165764431158332010-10-05T10:40:44.835-05:002010-10-05T10:40:44.835-05:00So many things to say and words escape me.
