I can walk!

It will take me a day or two or three to post a complete account, but I'm happy to report that the race was a terrific success. Forty miles and 4880 feet of climbing and descending behind me, I finished in 7 hours 19 minutes and 25 seconds. The three of us had a great weekend in the western North Carolina mountains; in fact, I think we're ready to move there. More photos to come, but here's a picture of me just after finishing and one with June shortly thereafter.
