I cannot even imagine enduring such a course and have a tremendous amount of respect for you finishing. Great job and congrats. 35% uphill grades. That's the same as climbing a blue run on a downhill ski area. Amazing feat, for sure.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394635412901306208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37369923.post-88447719592801030022007-02-27T07:59:00.000-06:002007-02-27T07:59:00.000-06:00Oh.My.Gosh.

I think I told you that you would be a blogging superstar. I am so glad that you are okay and there is no doubt in my mind that you could have done the full event. You're Iron-Jenny. Full of grace and blessed immensely by the ones you love and who love you in return. <BR/><BR/>Your winter break has truly approached with the end of this race. Now relax and actually enjoy the snow rather than look at it as a training medium.Comm'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351781836311483147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37369923.post-37646022494867047212007-02-26T19:33:00.000-06:002007-02-26T19:33:00.000-06:00You are amazing!
