Okay. I'm here. And I'm still beat tired. In short, it was a very inspirational race, practically out of body. I am starting to type some of it down now, and I'll share more details soon.

Wednesday morning, I managed to sit up in my hotel bed, but then was stuck there for the better part of an hour. I anticipated trouble the night before, because I left water, ibuprofen, and Biofreeze (like liquid Ben-Gay) on the nightstand. I hobbled to the office 2.5 hours later.
