Thanks SL. Yeah, I was glad, to say the least, that my asthma was not an issue. My conditioning was meh because of the curtailed training, but we finished and had a good time.

This was the first ten mile race I ever ran. In fact I've never heard of another one. I've done dozens of marathons, halfs, and 10k's so I know how to pace myself for those. This was a different animal, but me and my wife followed our conservative game plan for the first half, tested ourselves a little bit more for most of the second and gave it everything we had for the last mile. Sorry as I'm sure that was too much information.

As it relates to SR, I'll repeat that yesterday was the first race of at least ten miles that I did not have a beer after showering and getting clean clothes on. In fact, I had no desire for one so hopefully I've removed one association with alcohol.
