Marathon pics
Disney sent me an email today saying that my marathon pics were ready for purchase. I decided to screen cap the email and upload them to my flickr instead.
Here is me hitting the finish line... time is inaccurate because I started in Corrale D (further back from start). Those rubber mats I am about to step over read the chip on my shoe and record my correct time. From what I can remember, I really had to push myself for the final .20. My legs were very wobbly, my blood sugar plummeted, and I lost some control of my bladder. Yes, you heard me right... I wet my shorts as I crossed the finish. Perhaps that is TMI, but as a distance runner... it happens. At least it was number 1 and not, you know... number 2.
I was in a rather foggy state post crossing the finish line... as I was walking to grab a poweraide and head for a port a john, I was stopped for this photo. My thoughts at the time? "I cannot believe I just wet myself." You have to admit that I do not look too bad for someone who just ran 26.2 miles :)
I also posted the shots Derek took on his camera to my flickr. Mine, as well as my lengthy write up will be up soon for those of you interested in hearing about my 2nd marathon experience in greater detail. I promise no more TMI*.
