One hour ten minutes! Four thousand two hundred seconds. Four thousand nine hundred heart beats (average resting heart rate). A space shuttle takes approximately 90 minutes to orbit earth.
That's how much faster I ran the Vermont 100 race this year compared to last year.
The race director had challenged me to finish under twenty hours. AND I DID IT. I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!
It was a great weekend. The whole family came. We brought the popup trailer and stayed at a nearby campground. It was nice having them there. I stayed solo, meaning I ran without crew and without a pacer. So the family could cheer me on only at a couple spectator locations, not at any of the aid stations. I never saw them, not until after I finished. I finished so much faster this year, that my wife didn't think I'd finish so soon. I had had a great day. And it was super nice to sleep on a bed, and sleep with my whole family.
