That is incredible, Andrea! You must be a natural, to pull that off after one month back into running. I'm pretty jealous. After reading your post, I had to wait around for DH to read it to him. He thought it was awesome, too.

I'm jealous at the base of fitness you must have, and completely in awe!
Congratulations. Pickle juice.. genius! Although choking it down while running long distances makes me a little queazy to think about!

Are you planning to keep up the running again?
I could see triathlons in your future... or are they in your past, too?!

Thanks again, gals!

The pickle juice was actually pretty yummy after downing so many sweet gel packs- I poured about 1/3 a small Styrofoam cup of it, then added about as much cold water.

As for future plans, I am aiming for any type of super-endurance type stuff- adventure racing, 24 hour MTB races, and possibly a 100 mile run in October. No triathlons, though. I hate swimming. Not that I'm bad at it... I just can't stand to do it! I wouldn't train for it if you paid me
