Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Not satisfied, but grateful for the experience. I'm particularly thankful for the support of my family, including my crew, Luke and Henry. Along with my pacer, Stan, they brought me back to life at Mile 80 and helped me believe that sub-24 hours - and the sterling silver buckle - were still within reach.

Lots of mixed emotions, here, with a heavy dose of perspective and humility given the collective events and circumstances surrounding the race itself.
