I Finished! ATB Race Report in Brief

A full description of the trials and tribulations to follow, but for now I am just happy to report that...

I FINISHED!

This was a most gruelling experience in no small part due to the hip/ITB issue that crept up after Friday's run, but also as a result of the two weeks of lost training leading up to today and the weather. I was "running" just to finish so this has to be counted as a success, but someday I will be back and better prepared, at which point I will actually be able to run this thing properly. Until then I am just pleased to have completed what I started.

The stats are pretty bad, but here they are nonetheless:

Gun Time: 3:43:40.4
Chip Time: 3:38:26.5
10k Split: 1:18:17
15k Split: 1:55:35
20k Split: 2:28:12

And now... ICE!
