Hi everyone! Apologies in advance for funky formatting and since I’m writing this on my phone.

So I’ve been missing from the blog for days (as somewhat expected) so a lot has gone on in that time. The brief summary is that it was very rushed getting ready for this trip, Charles and I have been having a great time exploring Washington DC, oh – and I came down with a cold that I have not been able to shake since Thursday.

While I was worried about how the race would go as a result of my cold, it ended up being a fabulous race and a great day. I’ll fill you in on all the details but here are the facts:

Chip Time: 1:54:25

Pretty darn good given the circumstances! That’s my second fastest time, slower than my PR by less than a minute.

I can’t wait to fill you all in soon! It’s back home tomorrow and I am so exhausted!
