I had one sponsor (Michael Bork) who could not it, make plus me. My son came along to pick up the pieces (of me when I collapse).
We started off at 10:30AM at a too fast pace in sweltering heat (it was only 86 degrees F, felt like a lot more!) but beautiful blue sky. Anyway up the first steep pitch everything seemed fine until about 10 paces after the top of that … then i got the message to cool it a bit. Walking with my 21year old son was a bit too much for my almost 67 year old legs.
We made to the 1 hour mark right on schedule and kept on going - the longest steep part followed. We made it to the 2 hour point about 10 minutes late - I had to stop for my crams! 1 hour to go … in 50 minutes. Fortunately this part is easier and I think the 1 hour is way to generous. Anyway we had time to photograph the cows, some flowers and the view. Got there pin 2 hours and 54 minutes. Bloody cramps … could have been quicker. Guess I need to get in shape.
Hope all the people on the run in Chicago had fun too. I hope they all have a great conference.
