I bought a couple of pictures from the course photographer.
Notice the look of pure joy on my face in the top picture. That was taken at mile 3, on a particularly nasty hill. It didn't phase me one bit. I had that same smile on my face until mile 16 or so. The smile returned when I entered the finish line lane. It is hard to tell if I am praying or clapping...I'm pretty sure it was both. You can see Dan on the left side of the picture. He walked back to about 25.5 and walked with me for a half mile or so. You can also see the guy that finished right after me. He looks like he is only a little bit behind me, but it took him almost 8 more minutes to finish. The desert is deceptive.
