Well the big day finally came. After a crazy week of earthquakes and aftershocks, no water, no electricity, no school, little sleep, we travelled to Santiago for the race. I prepared 4 months for it and there was no way I was going to miss it. I was ready. Saturday we went to the expo to pick up our numbers and shirts, then we all went out to lunch for a carbo-loading session. Sunday morning we got up early and took the metro into the city. It was chilly but perfect for running.
I had a blast during the race. The first half I felt like a breeze. I never hit a wall and I finished feeling strong. I felt great until I finished...then I could barely walk. Needless to say the next day at work was a stru-ggle. Walking up and down stairs was not on my list of go-to's...
BUT...I'm already looking forward to the next one! Boston here I come!
Thanks coach!!
