Girls gone WI(ld)

Alternate title: Photo dump of random pictures from Wisconsin

I ran the Wisconsin half and crossed the finish line in a gut-wrenching sprint to the end, and I promise to give you all the dirty details.

Later.

But it would be rude, in my struggle to put experience into words, to deny you with this.

After all, this weekend was more than just 13.1 miles and a few goals. The race was about being with friends no longer in the computer.

And thanking my lucky stars they didn't shank me for missing the meet-up because I was in the port-a-potty line.

It was about meeting a fellow nuunie and future teammate Lindsay who is even cuter and sweeter in person. (I'm sure I'll see the twisted side come August.)

It was about offering a toast to accomplishments and friendship.

And, most importantly, eating a big burger after 13.1 miles. With a side of fries. Dipped in ranch.

Because that's how I roll.

P.S. I hate all of these ladies for looking 1000 percent better than me in these photos. I think I need to start wearing makeup to races.

P.P.S. Just kidding.

P.P.P.S. Sort of.

  1. Can't wait to hear more details from your race. I didn't realize you were running the half! I was out there cheering for my friend @HillarySpeaks who was running the full. (If you saw a group with vuvuzelas and a couple of cowbells, the blond girl was me!) Would have been great to meet some other Nuunies before HTC. We'll have to meet up soon. :D

  3. So happy to have met you! If you didn't know, It was me that yelled your name right before you hit the turn around point near Mile 8 :) We were right near each other the entire race. It may not have gone perfectly(for me either!) but it was a tough course I thought, mentally and physically with all the hills and out and backs.

  4. Looks like so much fun! It totally makes me wish I lived closer.

    Fries with ranch are the best, especially sweet potato fries. In fact now I might have to get some because I'm going to think about them all day long.
