This is why we do it!

Race day. The morning began at 0500 hrs (Oh my Gawd, that's early!). We rolled out of bed, drank our coffee and had our wheaties, then headed down to the race venue with our pit crew (Mom, Mary and Kim). There were 10,000 runners at the starting line! We spent much of the pre-race warm up time waiting for a porta-potty.

Business complete, a cheer went up and we were off! 22.1 km later the result is here. We were both shooting for a sub-2 hour time. Alas, it was not to be. Still Cindy managed a 02:07 min time and I pulled out a 02:05 min time. All in all a good run.
