World Wide Half Race Report

DQF

DQ but not DNF

It may seem a little strange to DQ yourself when you are the only one on the course, but let me explain: My overall time would DQ me for most races, but I did finish. Therefore I give myself a DQF, but it's all good.

Summary

I started at 5:45am and saw a stunning sunrise. Faced some slight adversity which made for a long day(not a tragedy but a strange shooting mystery pain from my ankle up the side of my leg.) I only ran about a 1/4mile and walked the rest(like a turtle). My ankle swelled and I could not wear my running shoes. I ended up doing around 6 of the 13.18 miles in flip flops before changing back to running shoes, but I finished. It was wonderful knowing there was such a great spirit of community out there. Had I not made a commitment to 'run' with you all, I probably would have given up that day. Instead I hobbled along and felt awesome when I finished. Thanks for all the encouragement. It was a gorgeous day on the North Shore of Boston which was a blessing for me considering my time finished approximately 5hours after the start.

I will be putting more details and pictures from the race soon. Life has been pretty busy. I apologize for the delay. My next post will contain the contination of the Butterfly Brotherhood, the elusive Throne Depot and some upcoming race plans.
