You really powered through this one and you should be proud of all that you accomplished in this race and the other 30. Just awesome.

I seemed to have heard runners yelling behind me but they were too far and too faint to set me straight. By the time I got back on track, I had run 0.35 miles longer than necessary. My Garmin shows 26.55 miles afterwards, dead on. Despite that, I BQed anyway, for the first time, quite happy about that. Like you, I would have quit if rain, thank God! Everything you described in your report are dead on. My only suggestion is giving out a thermal blanket to finished runners would be nice in a day like this. This is a great race for runners looking to BQ. Will be back next year.
