Not my best work, but a good race in spite of circumstances.
Details to come this week but the result:
Time: 5:37:49 (of my 4 marathons this is 3rd in time)
Pace 12:54
Place 6108/7526
Women 2581/3511
Div 303/427
Just to make it interesting, in addition to fighting a chest cold and lack of voice, I twisted my ankle while walking to the race start area. It did get sore but was ok for the race. It is pretty bruised and swollen right now.
Thanks for your thoughts and encouraging words today! A typically long race report to come later this week!

congratulations! I can't wait to read the full report!
Wow, what a day you had!
Well it sounds like one of those events that's all about survival and LO and Behold you survived! All the best with the recovery!!!
It's unfortunate that you had to get sick right before your race, but I SO admire you for sticking with it and finishing. I hope your ankle heals quickly - and with some good meds you should be rid of the cold in a week or two. Nobody will be able to take away the finishers medal - good on ya!
A cold alone would have kept me home, but a strained ankle too?? You're a tough one and have my admiration!
Well now I am even more impressed; not only sick but also injured and you still rocked!!!
Wow some race, way to go on your timing and doing it while you were sick and injured!!!! Please nurse that ankle, Disney is around the corner, I hope you didn't hurt it to bad, get alot of rest and eat alot of chicken soup!. Feel better.
Oh my, a twisted ankle on top of a cold? I'm glad you were able finish the race!
That's such a bummer to twist your ankle on the way TO the race. But you did it! Now get better and I'll be watching for further recaps!

Hey Chris just wanted to drop a note and again say congratulations and that it was nice to meet you. I am sorry that you had the cold and sore ankle. There are so many potential issues running that far that just finishing is amazing!!!
Good luck at Disney and I hope that you do great!!!
May the Force be with you!!!
