It was great to see you and to finally meet your brother (who is a beast, by the way).<br /><br />DNF's can be tough, but I've had more than my fair share. And you have found the true essence (at least for me) of why adventure racing rocks. I just love this line:<br /><br />"No matter how tired or sore or frustrated I was, I truly was thrilled to be out there, and I never lost sight of that during the day. And sharing it with my brother was awesome."<br /><br />And Jim's comment hit the nail on the head too:<br /><br />"Coming into the campground, I was exhausted and struggling to have a good attitude. It had been a long day, and I was disappointed at the events of the last hour and a half, but running through the arch and having smiling friends there spraying champagne on us totally turned my attitude around. It was a fantastic reminder that what we had done it itself was a huge accomplishment, and we had just joined a small fraternity of people crazy enough to spend 12+ hours running, riding, and canoeing around the woods."<br /><br />Great job to both of you! I wish we could have made it back in time to see you guys by the campfire. Although, I'm a little worried about what phobias and "talents" Bob told you about.Lukehttp://www.team-virtus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-92168531189697814952011-09-27T10:03:36.421-05:002011-09-27T10:03:36.421-05:00You are just one amazing woman Kate!
