I called out to you, but it was noisy at the finish, and my voice got lost in the crowd. I hope to meet you at a future race.<br /><br />Surprisingly, I ran a PR race. Still very stoked about it!Richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392437691492957659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-54394328078997171382013-09-06T14:05:24.609-05:002013-09-06T14:05:24.609-05:00Congrats!
