1 Day & 1 Year

R.A. Holmes, PhD, mother of 2, FTW:   Lost Dutchman Marathon, and a spot on the podium today, after just one year.

G and I headed out at 8am to meet Beckie at mile 14.5 by 9.  She came flying in on about a 7.5 minute/mile pace.

she got in so quick G never got into the feeling of watching the race, and was back in the car before having a chance to stretch. The race route ran along ours for about 2 miles, so we waved at Beckie and waited for her where she turned onto the smaller roads at mile 16.

Then out past the finish, where we rode a few miles back on the 2bike.
