So you’ll be in Anchorage next summer. Email me if you’d like to meet up.

I might even do the race as well.

Congratulations - I totally forgot

I did go out and cheer for a while - but as I live near the end of the course, people were pissed off and tired by the time they got there… with notably few exceptions, they didn’t seem to care for the cheering.

It’s a hard course, you should be very proud!

(And if you do Jock’n’Jill next Labor Day, I’ll look for you there.)

I was definitely tired…but not at all pissed off by the end of the race. The cheering was AWESOME!
