Achievement unlocked in 3:45:28.

I was running with (or slightly ahead of) the 3:45 pace team, but started to fall back around mile 19 or so, and never quite made it up. So close, oh well.

No bloody nipples or new blisters, but I do have black toenail on the right big toe, possibly the left as well.

Huzzah!
Come to Groton next springtime. You'll know someone waiting for you at the finish line.

This year's road race was the same day as my first half marathon (http://kirkcudbright.livejournal.com/137960.html), and this year's trail race was...today. Someday I'll run in Groton...

YOU DID IT

and in pretty much what you projected, timewise. That is SO FABULOUS.

I signed up to received texts to be alerted to when you passed various markers, but never got any. Made me wonder if you'd decided not to race for some reason. I wonder why the texty thing didn't work?

Still. You did a thing and it's incredible.

HEAR YOU ROAR

(trying not to worry about your poor toesies)

The text-alert thing seems to have had a bug where only the most recent subscriber would get the notifications. e.g. F signed up, and I saw it, but when I checked after the race, it only showed [livejournal.com profile] lyonesse.

it didn't work super well for me either -- messages arrived in a somewhat random order, it lacked timestamps of when stuff got sent out, and also lacked your start and finish times. so while it might be fun for pure e-stalking, it turned out worse than useless for stalking you in realspace.

W0000 H00000RAY!!!! :) go you, wicked fast!

(the e-tracking was misleading. i failed to see you twice, and walked the last mile or so about five minutes behind you. failed to find you post-finish; did find francie...)
