And even pushing through calf cramps!<br /><br />Very well written, funny race recap.

You worked hard for this 10 minute PR and you did it and now that Greenland monkey is off your back. And if you want to whack away at that time next year then you can but for now it has to be super sweet to know you can do that course and not crash and burn. Well done, sir! And celebratory treats do not need to be GF - well done on the black forest pick...my mouth is watering! <br /><br />So, next on the plate is Sage Burner, right?? :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.com
