Woo hoo!! On the waiting for others. 1. that you waited and 2. that you had to :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. Those things always sound uncomfortable to me. Maybe because it's always 90 to 100 degrees where I live when they are offered.
It actually was cool and cloudy in the morning, then got to the 70s towards the end of the race. The first hose was cold, but the hoses and mud baths were nice by the end!
