scenes from race day



From the top:
1 - Me before the race, feeling confident.
2, 3 & 4 - Scenes from while I was running. Nic took a break from being my "fuel mule" and set up shop at Java Joe's to get some work done.
5 - Done. 1:51:30. Good. Not great.
6 & 7 - Post race lunch at Gateway Market. Can.Not.Wait. to get back to Des Moines to eat here again.
8 - Best.Chocolate.Ever (not vegan, but oh so worth it)

Lesson from today: I am not a superhero. I need to give my body a rest. I need to get back on track in regards to my diet (read: healthful vegan eating, not diet as in dieting).

  1. Great job on the race...bodies do get tired, but yours still did pretty darn good!

    PS, I've never heard of fuel mule before but that is totally what Chris gets to be when I force/beg/plead him into a ride along...he'll love his new nickname, NOT! ;)
