You're a better man than me. If I started that, I'd have to have the ambulance follow me, and it wouldn't have to follow me for long, lol. I'll just wish you the best and most luck I can send your way! Take it. You'll need it much more than me. :-D

More later!

Excellent work! Keep your chin up! A very small percentage of people in this world will ever stay on their feet that long. LPJ DNF'd the same race if I remember correctly but went back last year to get revenge. If you enjoyed the attempt you will be back. Hoping your recovery goes well!
