Well a rookery (you had to be at the post race party to understand) of Snails completed the JFK 50 this weekend. All finished well, a few sore muscles for the runners and some thermo nuclear hangovers for the crews.
Any Ultra where nobody goes to the hospital is a successful one in my book.
I am truly proud of all the runners. We had a few newbies and seasoned veterans, who stepped up to the line and completed this difficult event. There was one common thread in their discussions – I am OK … How is everybody else doing? This only proves two things about Snails – We all lie and we care about each other.
After the race we all gathered for a well deserved post race party. Good food, ample supply of alcohol, and fine friends carried us into a night full of laughter and fun.
Kudos to all on a 2008 season well done! Time for a well deserved rest… you earned an extra large slice of pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving.
Next week we start training for the 2009 season.
P.S. I have never felt so good after a JFK 50. I may need to become the perpetual post race party planner.
