Boston Marathon 2002
After 2001, it
seemed like running
Well, 2002 was
kind of the worst. The training
went well enough, but on the day of the event I had some dreaded intestinal
problems starting around mile 15.
That resulted in frantic trips to the porta-potty
every couple miles or so, leaving me completely dehydrated by mile 20.
Ignoring all the
warning signs (what, no more sweating?), I soldiered on, but the last 6 miles
were kind of brutal.
Matt and
Bao got their revenge this year.
For me, to finish (alive) was to win..
Half way, looking relaxed.
No sign of Brian
behind us..
Bao
gets a little help..
Dad gets a little
help nearing the finish line.
The most brutal
finish ever for me, glad it was over..
