Well You got my PM, so you know that I've been thinking of you.
I'm just glad that you've decided to give it another go. I'm sure you've got that IM vibe in you, and now you just need a couple extra miles. But you still went out there and logged WAY more miles than most folks would ever think of. And the cold... Oh yes the COLD! I tell people that is why I moved from nor cal. I must be warm. I guess I'll never do IMLP tho, because I hear it's like that alot. But man it sure looks like a beautiful course!
I'm glad your ok, and congrats on a hard fight. I think sometimes as endurance athletes the toughest thing is to know when to say when. It's rough, so I commend you for that.
Rest up- you still did log MAX miles that day!
And we'll be there cheering for you at the next one! I promise!!

Heck, IMAZ is warm!!!
