Oh … My … God

A full race report is forthcoming on these pages, but in the meantime I have an observation to share:
When you lead a race wire to wire, the photographers have a ton of chances to take pictures of you. And they use them all. So, wow, lot of pictures of Will. Maybe I can send one to Amy’s friend from InKind.org, who gave me that awesome, hideous racing shirt.
The quick race report is, I ran a big PR of 1:16:05, which somehow made it into the official results as 1:16:46. There was a very exciting motorcycle escort. My mom and I were back at the church retreat well before lunch, and today I am still a bit sore. More later!

AWESOME!
I love the race pics. You look so happy! Watch out, or Paulo will scold you. He always says that if you are smiling you’re not running hard enough

Nice one, bro – looks like you’ve got you’re immune systems/energy issues under control. That’s some nice run form you’ve got there as well…
As for Jodi’s comment:
> Paulo will scold you. He always says that if you are smiling
> you’re not running hard enough
That is true. But then again, we’ve never won a race, either! ;-p

Thanks!
Just to address the “looking happy” issue, bear in mind that all but the last few of those photos were taken in the last 200m of the race :-)
