That picture of you at the top is breathtaking and also holy sh*t I can't believe you climbed that!!!<br /><br />I was going to ask how you train for this and wondered if Chicago even has such hills that would prepare you for it. One park I trained for my HM in last year in Cleveland had a steep AF hill that I imagine would be perfect for that, but geez even jogging up that was challenging. So basically what I'm saying is I'm with Erin, you're BADASS for doing that!

This seems like an event you do for fun (if you're in shape, like you are!), to try, then maybe train harder for if you decide to do it again. Like you said, there is a lot to learn from doing it once. I wonder if trail shoes would help much more. I don't feel like mine help much with grass grip. <br /><br />It must have been so scary to go down those stairs after, with your legs feeling like jelly! I was wondering how you get down!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-47060941841149732552019-07-15T09:44:35.745-05:002019-07-15T09:44:35.745-05:00This is both crazy and wonderful.
