Our races were similar in that respect...lots of walking but the reward still very warm! Definitely a different feel than any road race I've done. <br /><br />You done good; you deserve to be ravenous and taking breaks from blogging to eat :).Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.com
