Thank you ladies!!!! Waiting in Staten Island to start, waving to @CL8badB haha. I'll update you when I finish this mofo! (I don't start until 11. Yeesh!)
Do I'm upside down, oopsie! The champagne is talking. What a fun race! I was super slow but I really didn't care. And the Fitbit sucks, it just kind of gives up after 16 miles. wTF? It did that during one of my long runs too, it's like "can't compute! Human is crazy!" The race itself was amazing. I've always loved NYC, and running through the different neighborhoods and seeing their character was so much fun. The best part was actually miles 20-24 for me because I fared really well physically and I loved Harlem and the Bronx. That is my music! The only part of the race that totally sucked was I absolutely peed myself, and it was obvious since I was wearing navy pants. I stressed about it for like 6 miles and then it kind a dried and I was like, "whatevs. My VBAC destroyed me, but he's worth peeing myself for, right?" Once I let that go (it was mentally hard and really embarrassing) I had much more fun. And I mean you can write Kat on your shirt but no one cheers for the girl who peed herself. But more importantly, I DIDNT SHIT MYSELF! So there it is. Very excited and happy to be done. And of course it wouldn't be a good running story if there wasn't a disgusting bodily fluids aspect.
@vasc it was FREEZING at the start and crazy winds. Everyone had on at least one extra layer and usually runners ditch it before the start, but the Veranzzano bridge was so long, windy and cold that people wore their stuff for longer. I wore my fleece until mile 4, but it was like a game of Frogger for the runners to avoid clothing for the first 4 miles. I seriously cannot believe how the city has the whole thing cleaned up by tomorrow!
Re: Good luck, Calikat!
I'm failing big time. Anyone else got a good gif?
