Two Down, One to Go

Both George and Mike are off their bikes and on the run.

George around 3:00

Mike running well at 4:15

Both the male and female winners are finished, and we're seeing some guys with finisher medals walking around. We're also seeing people without finisher medals lying on benches...and one woman in the back of an ambulance as the medics closed the doors.

I need tissues. To see people work so hard, give so much, and still not have enough...it breaks my heart. They are crazy, but I can't help but pull for them all to finish, for them all to have Mike Reilly call their names. It's just awful how that doesn't happen.

Let's hope and pray George and Mike have enough today. 26.2 more miles...one mile at a time.

  4. Wow, watching the live feed of people finishing makes me kind of teary, and I don't even know any of them! But what a testament to human effort and discipline and striving. Kudos to them all!
