    Hi Guys, I just typed up a whole big report, and then lost it, too tired to do it again, so here is the short version. It was really hard.

    4th woman overall
    1st in age group
    USAT Mid-Atlantic Region Masters Champion

    Somehow, this short version strikes more terror into my heart than all the gory details might! I seriously believe you.

    Way to go!!

    YIPPEE!!!!
    A HUGE congrats on a seemingly incredibly tough course (so proud you did it). Way to go!!!!!

    Love the pics- looks like such a pretty finish near the water (although tough to run on that sand at the end I'm sure). You don't look too muddy- hopefully it had dried up a little.

    Congrats on your 4th OA and 1st AG awards- AMAZING!!!

    Please do tell more when you get some sleep!

    WOW! Congratulations! The pictures are nice. Although, you didn't look too happy when you were holding your hardware...

    Too bad we didn't get the details, but thanks for sharing your results!
