I joked afterwards that my runner pep talk gets better every year; in a few years runners will no longer be physically capable of dropping out after hearing it. (Cross your fingers for me!)<br /><br />Congratulations on your finish, and hope you recover quickly.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582049406998358870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-24354441563950898842016-09-14T11:00:34.486-07:002016-09-14T11:00:34.486-07:00Kate, I hope to see you out there soon!

My favorite quote----<br /><br />"These are problems you can keep going with, but ultimately this is your show. This is a hundred mile race. We sign up for these because they're hard. And at some point in every race, you're going to reach a point where it's going to get hard, and you're going to have to decide if you want to finish. This is that point."<br /> I leave him to come to his own decisions. He decides to drop.<br /><br /><br />I chose to finish. Physically, I was a mess. Relationally, I was blessed with a great pacer. My finish time expectations, like many others, got destroyed by the rain, ruggedness and relentless grind of the course. My finish expectations did not. What a great community the Superior AS folks are! Runner #188, now finisher of the Superior 100, thanks you.bandofbrothershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726001757538215397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-84090147321565800312016-09-14T06:15:33.588-07:002016-09-14T06:15:33.588-07:00In love your race writ-up, Robyn.
