I kept them as not to distract from my focus of moving my leg the finish line. :-) Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I will try and have fun as I train for April!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-20286200954379216272012-10-12T07:11:36.290-07:002012-10-12T07:11:36.290-07:00Well done Pete!

He probably just wanted the glory of crossing the finish line. Either that or he tried to run the entire race and was foiled at the last minute. Where were you going to bail before you got caught? I wonder how easy it would have been to scale the fence in the last 800 meters?Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-37067474896283356302012-10-10T09:43:49.135-07:002012-10-10T09:43:49.135-07:00Congrats on a great race!

Bummer!<br /><br />I definitely got busted by the bandit squad at mile 25.5, but I wouldn't have crossed the finish line anyways.
