Hey Jennifer! I didn't realize that was you when we chatted during the race. Now, if you had said, "I'm Lifesabeach..." Though I guess that may have sounded odd. Glad you had a great day. And I agree--that's one of the best finish photos I've ever seen. It even has "Boston" in it. Sheesh. Congrats!

Looks like you had a great race, congrats! I don't even remember what I said to you...you just took off and I thought, welp, that's the last I'll see of her! Big grin

Great job! You look great, but then again I'm biased. Wink

Find the fun.

Jennifer, I can't believe you screwed up your finish line picture so badly. How hard would it have been to cross the line between "S" and "T" instead of "O" and "S"? Classic rookie mistake! Sheesh! Otherwise, nice pic... Tongue

Congrats! Lynn B

I redact my earlier compliment in agreement with this post. Second mistake? Why are you not stopping your watch as you cross?

LMAO. if you can believe it, I actually told my husband last night I was going to aim for the S and T next year. Tongue

and I start my watch after I cross the start so that I can pose for the picture at the end. I was only one second off! Big grin
