Beardsley Results? Anyone?

The gun goes off and the rain litterally begins to fall. And not just a mist, certainly not a down pour, but enough to be soaked after the first mile. And it lasted the WHOLE WAY....all 3.1 or 13.1 miles. So, I didn't stick around long after crossing the finish line. I was FROZEN!!! I waited only minutes to watch a few of you cross....and quickly realized that my fingers were turning white and the foil was no longer doing its job of keeping me warm. All it was doing was preventing water from hitting my shoulders...and rolling it down to my legs. Speaking of my legs, sloshing through the packed gravel/MUD was a trocious on my legs; not to mention I think I ruined my shoes.

I did however have a great race. I didn't train well, and Diane kicked my A** around on the streets with sub-9:00s earlier in the week so I thought for sure I had destroyed my race. But, to my surprise, I ran a 1:59 and change. Not my best (but close) and definately not my worst! (I dont' know what the chip time was...I didn't stick around because again, I was FROZEN.) How did everyone else do?!?!?!? My inquiring mind wants to know!
