Congratulations Oakleaf, sounds great! I am glad you were able to do this AND get your BQ

Indianapolis had the Monumental Marathon on Saturday. It is a long tradition here for the first Sat in November and is a Boston qualifier. One expects unpredictable weather on Nov 1 in central Indiana, but NOT temps 20 degrees below normal and snow It was hard enough for me to get out from under the blankets and head for my usual Sat AM KB competition training session which is inside, can't imagine what that must have been like, especially the waiting around before things got started. Thinking of them while I was completing a full competition length set with my comp weight made what I was doing seem much easier!
