My first 70.3 will be in Galveston in April 2013. I did a 70.3 relay a few weeks ago where I did the bike and the run. I sympathize with the feeling of wanting to quit. Halfway through the run I was ready to sit on the side of the road and wait for someone, anyone, to pick me up and take me back. Fortunately I found the strength to keep going.calimechengrhttps://twitter.com/Calimechengrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-17477209997576648312012-10-30T16:37:04.961-05:002012-10-30T16:37:04.961-05:00I love CrashHouston!

A lot of things factored into that last place finish, one being that I was 7 weeks pregnant. On most of my run, the water stations had already been packed up and put away and the volunteers had cleared out. Some really awesome volunteers stayed out there knowing I was still on the course to give me water and Gatorade. They even stayed letting traffic back through! I eventually finished and am already looking into my redemption 70.3 to do after the baby comes. I did discover that finishing last wasn't as bad as it sounds- that's lots of people there to cheer for you at the end because they already finished! I hope CrashHouston gets his redemption race soon too!HairbyJenniferChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315037688230902953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-41696725287390231742012-10-30T10:18:34.901-05:002012-10-30T10:18:34.901-05:00Interesting!

I've only been in last place in 2 races (of 600); once when I fell and hit my head and was unconscious for a while and once when two of us figured out there was an award for the last place finisher and we tried out-waiting each other.<br /><br />I get another chance this Sunday to be last!SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.com
