Alrighty - here it is...the final results. If you are reading this on Facebook click on the link above to read the original post or you won't be able to see any of the videos, stats etc. Here are the final run stats from my IPOD. As you will see in my video, my quads seized up at about the 28km mark and my pace dropped. At this point the IPOD got a little out of wack, so it says I ran 45km. The race was only 42km, so trust me, although it felt like it, I didn't run any more than that! :)
The team from Vancouver raised $142,000 in total for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Of the 182 participants who were in Maui for either the Half or Full Marathon we raised almost $800,000, and a large chunk was from Vancouver! In fact, I was named as one of the top five fundraisers among all 182 participants, thanks to the generosity of so many people! Thank you soooo much.
You can see my race results by clicking this text.
I was 757 of a total of 1057 runners, and I was 327 of 526 men in the race...which although not as good as I would like personally, was amazing overall! In fact, the fact that I finished at all was incredible to me. :)
It has been INCREDIBLY difficult to walk these past few days...it has been four days and I am finally not grimacing when I walk down stairs! But it was all well worth it.
And now for my final video blog...thanks for watching, and thanks for all of your support!!!! Mostly thanks to those who are still fighting the good fight - the money's raised will go to support further research so that the world can be rid of blood cancers.
There was a bit of a glitch, but finally here is the video...
And this video is my final blog...
