Sarge, I loved reading your report. Almost as good as being there ;-). I think too that you made good choices, it was a 900 mile drive, after all. And still a hefty PR on a difficult course, with owies & gatorade side effects. (try soft pretzels for that, if you just happen to have some with you)
Sounds like you've been recovering well.
Congratulations!

Sarge – Congratulations on your new marathon PR, and on a tough course! What a wonderful excursion you had of this – good food, beautiful terrain, lots of adventurous activities – well worth the trip even without the marathon. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
