Ouch! Oh. Eeehee. Ahh. Hummn. Darm, what was I thinking reserving a room in a walkup hotel? Did I think I’d be able to climb steps afterwards!
But really, I feel pretty good. Walking is tough. Stairs are tougher. And I am tired. But I feel good both in body and in spirit. I have some serious chaffing on my upper body, where my sports bra met skin, especially the tops of my shoulders, and under my arms, but other than that, I came through unscathed. Not a lick of chaffing from my skirt, no chub rub from my thighs rubbing together. Life is good.
Hummn… so, with all that training, I came so close to qualifying. Just :29 seconds off. Humnn. Perhaps I could still do it? Well, ok, so maybe I will try again. Just one more time. But lets give the pain of this one a little more opportunity to fade before I really commit to another attempt.
I’ve got a city to see! He-LOO New York!
