Thanks to Wil, Chris, Sally, Keya, Anne, Anne, Bob, Betsy, Lise, and Jan for coming out to cheer me on and to all the rest of my well-wishers who were following along on the web.

It was a tough race with my nagging hamstring injury giving out at about mile 7. By mile 10, my calves and quads had collapsed as well and the rest of the race became a test of survival rather than time. I did manage to eventually drag myself over the finish line in 3:30 but I will have to run another marathon in the fall to requalify for Boston 2002.

If you want to track me on-line, my bib number is

3451

I will be wearing a bright red singlet and black shorts
(unless the weather is bad)
