Thanks, ladies!
Alex, I looked for you since I figured your hubby probably did the race. We left at about 6:30, I think. I was ready for my easy chair.
The skirt is Running Skirts brand. The one that I am wearing is the Athletic Skirt model, with compression shorts. I love this skirt, possibly the most of all my skirts. Great pockets, comfortable, longer length. My doppelganger is wearing the Running Skirt model. I got mine at the end of the season last year at White Pine up in Park City. I don't know of anyone else locally who carries it, but then I haven't looked. They might have them at Wasatch Running.

Thanks for the skirt info, Yellow. Looks like Wasatch, REI, and Salt Lake Running Company are listed as retailers on the website. I need to do some shopping!

Thanks, Catrin & V!
My coach said no running again until Wednesday (tomorrow). So I went for a short bike ride (~ 1 hour) yesterday. The first 10-15 minutes were really tough (just getting the legs moving) but after that I almost felt normal. Kind of spooky!

Awesome! Can't believe your time and that you kept moving for 11+ hours.
I am exhausted after my 3 hot, humid, hours and just a fraction of the mileage you covered!
You look great!
