It will be beautiful! So romantic! And then after, great Austrian food and beer, at a little table set for two, with a candle on it. 30 years is worth celebrating!

We booked the most beautiful old hotel/spa for that weekend. Has both indoor/ outdoor pool and sauna overlooking
the Danube and the local vineyards. No matter the weather we can soak in the hot tub with a bottle of wine after
the race.

Gorgeous! All these fab places in Europe... We just can't find the same atmosphere, here in North America... And it will be interesting to see how they do things in a race, in Austria.
No doubt your wife earned that. She should be proud. Funny, my wife is doing that exact same thing right now! She death marched her way to matching her HM PR today. She's now run three HM's in the last nine months. Her first three! Proud of her. HOORAY running wives!
Congrats from me to MBC!!!!
Running wives rock
I know that's right! I drink like a damn hound dog after a marathon. Shit, after my second one I drank an entire bottle of wine! Purple lip city. lol
Chugged 2 beers after my last and I was freaking hammered!
Hey, I am thrilled with how I did today. And according to the internets, one shooting for a 3:25 finish on a 70 degree day can expect to finish in 3:45. Yowsers....is that accurate? I was sweating in the starting gate. Usually not a good sign of things to come.
Holy crap! I'm surprised at that.
Hi Dailies. Thanks for the kind words and support. I have napped and am now recovering like LRB would recover. Here is DW recovering. She earned that!

That's a victory pose!!
Congrats MBC, Jack, and Mrs. Jack (doh, so close, but great nonetheless!)
I put 3:25 into the run works calculator, and it spits out 3:27:46 for 70F. I have no idea, but based purely on my unscientific analysis, I would put an equivalent performance somewhere in-between 3:27:46 and 3:45.
I finally went for a run. 4 miles!

3:27 would have been better.

Was the course not all downhill after mile 20?
No more marathons
Ouch! Is that to say "dude, cruise it in"?

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
He's a leaker!
I missed that about MBC! Congrats!
Wait, people don't usually sweat before they start running? I do (at least here).

Actually that was a question about the course, not an inference.
