| yup, this was a tough one!! Thanks so much to Tiny and Eddie for litterally pushing or pulling me through the WHOLE race! - This was one of those days where I was pretty much dead weight - those guys rock for being such strong competitors. I was gripped by pretty bad stomach pains and low energy for the duration...guess the week before was still with me.
I'd have to say the bike was my favorite part, as it caused the least distress, and we were able to keep some good speed up; Tiny towed me through the trek section - tough going under foot for sure...the ski started out with a little renewed energy on my behalf, but that kinda faded too as all water bladders froze, and I failed to feed myself properly - we got through it well though - I particularily liked the backwoods trail breaking cuz it meant that T and E would have to slow down a little to break the trail, therefore I could rest some!! Whew - pulled it all out for this one and ended 4th overall - not too bad I say!
I was feeling REALLY puny at the end, so I split home early and missed the celebrations :( Needless to say, and this may be graphic, but when I got home, my body finally let go of whatever bit of anything it may have been hanging on to! Ughh....rough night, but it is out! Kinda like cleansing the demons I s'pose...
Thanks again guys, and congrats to all whole did so well!!!

| 30K LSD - wow, seemed longer - but the body held up OK. I was disheartened that I felt so sluggish - not going to get to Boston at this speed!! I was carrying alot of weight in my pack in the form of water though; hopefully this counted for something?? |
