How did it feel to cross the finish line?

0

ES: I wish I could say euphoric, but honestly, I was just very glad to be done running. The last 2.1 miles of the race were difficult for me mentally, and I was initially disappointed in my race because I did not cross the line feeling ecstatic. After seeing my splits for the race though, I am so pleased with my accomplishment! The last leg of the race felt pitifully slow, but it actually wasn’t. I was just tired. (Fancy that after running 13.1 miles!) F&F: How much sleep did you get before the race? ES: Sadly, no more than 4.5 hours. It was ridiculous to get moving so early, but we were done and back to our room by mid-morning for a good nap. (I really can’t complain, as this was self-inflicted.) I wouldn’t want to make this a routine. F&F: Any post-race aches or pains? ES: None! No blisters, no leg cramps, no vomiting. My legs felt slightly stiff Sunday, but not even enough to alter my gait. F&F: What was the most memorable part of the race experience? ES: So many impressions . . . •
