We're home! And we did it! I have A LOT to say about this race, and I will write out the whole race report tomorrow, and it will be long. The course was beautiful, the weather was great, and all 7 of us finished. But of course, there is much more drama than that. You name it, I went through it today: joy, elation, frustration, heart ache, misery, love, support, crying, exhaustion, chafing, blisters, pain, cramping, nausea, and back to elation and a little delirium (see photo). It was so so hard and humbling, and crossing the finish line was amazing. Despite pretty much falling to pieces during the last 5 miles, I finished in 5:19, an 18 minute PR.
I'll be back with tons more stories, photos and video. I'm going to drink a beer and get to bed.

Congrats, Emilie (and all the others),
In our heads and hearts, from our Utah vantage point, Liesel and I were with you every step of the way. It was a little frustrating that you couldn't hear our cheers, but believe me, they were in the air.
Enjoy a well-deserved sleep--we'll talk aqain tomorrow.
Tons of love
I can't wait to read your race report. Congratulations!!!
