Hey ya'll, a couple of people wanted me to send out a report about my half ironman. First, thanks for all the prayer and support! I made my goal of under 6 hours- 5:48:45 and ended up placing 2nd in my age group and 13th overall for women. It was the hardest thing I have ever done.  I was feeling great on the bike until about mi 30 and then I started losing energy. There was a MASSIVE hill at mile 45 that most people around me walked. I made it up-barely at about 4mph. On the run I wanted to quit and walked all the water stops and a couple other times. There were two loops on the run and on the second lap when I saw that if I kept my pace I could make it under 6 hours, I found some energy to pick it up a little. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength! WHile running I said I'd never do it again. Now that I've had some time I might do another some time. I am not convinced of an ironman though.

Thanks again and I hope to see lots of ya'll at Jack's Generic!
