Resting on our laurels......
A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION!
As I head down the final chute, I search the crowd hoping to see my wife Jennifer & baby Drew. Suddenly off to the left I see them & stop to give each of them a kiss & tell them I love them. Sprinting to the finish line, I cross it in 5:53:44–a total of 70.3 miles completed in less than 6 hours, just like I had planned.
I must admit the feeling of accomplishment was amazing. I was humbled to just be able to finish & honestly amazed that I was able to hit my goal time. It was a phenomenal experience & one I hope to do again very soon.
The final numbers surprised me, surpassing my expectations. I was 728 out of about 1475 finishers. I was 98 out of 162 in my age group and 609 out of 1095 in the men.
