Ouch.

So, I'm sitting here on the couch with my foot elevated.  It feels better today but my heel still hurts.  I've been using the crutches we have to get around the house a bit quicker... it helps but is a bit cumbersome... hopefully it will feel good enough tomorrow that I won't have to use them.

here are my official results (cut and past job from the website)...

you have to be aware that there's about three minutes there that I was in a porta potty to trying to get out and in of spandex... I had to wait so long at the start line I had to pee by the  time I got to the first set of porta potties.. that's alright... it's all part of the drill I suppose. 

Overall I have to say I think it was sorta fun.  I think it would have been more fun if I had been able to train a bit more... and my foot hadn't been hurting.  Will I do it again?  Maybe...  I am going to wait until my foot gets better though... I've signed up for the torchlight run but I might have to skip it if it doesn't work out... that's the end of next month...

The rest of my body is a bit stiff but it will be alright... I'm going to take it easy today and rest.  I have CPR training today so I will hobble down to the club to do that, but other than that I think that's it.. rest and ice, rest and ice and advil!

here are some photos from the race... not too exciting - sorry.

My feet post race...

Overall - good times... maybe next time I'll get someone else to do it with me!

Now it's back to the sofa and the dogs...
