First of all can I just say how much I love my Aussie friends who hate and love toast?
I am pretty busy at work so I anticipate a race report Friday once I am fully stuffed with turkey and too lazy to do anything but blog!
Until then a funny story from the race.
Somewhere later on in the race on the towpath I was passing a gentleman in yellow on his right. I had seen him back and forth for several miles since we were on different walk schedules. I guess I should have announced myself because as I got on his shoulder I was rewarded with a spray of snot right in my face. Always the politically correct one on the trail I announced "You Got Me!" He was extremely apologetic and I laughed it off. I mean I can't have been too pretty anyways we were over 30 miles into the race and I had made several trips to the ladies room along the way. I definitely had this feeling all day that I was picking up a gazillion germs and that I would promptly be getting really sick after the race. Luckily I had baby wipes in my fanny pouch and was able to clean up the damage :)
I must say though he had pretty good aim because I was wearing a hat and he managed to avoid the brim and get me directly on the cheek! Impressive!

I would have quit on the spot and called 911!
Eat lots o' turkey, you deserve it...
I don't know who I feel worse for, you or him??
I think we all learned a lesson from this: ON YOUR LEFT!!!!!
TMI! TMI! Another valuable lesson learned for us newbies about passing on the left :-)
I'm never passing anyone on the right ever again. :)
that's .... yeah, that's not good, which does not equal that snot good.
i hope he wasn't getting over a cold. that snot's like puddin'... or chicken fat.
...

Thanks for that visual image. I guess it will have to do until you publish your race recap!
That's gross! It's come close a few times, but I haven't been hit yet. You are a good sport, that's for sure!
Ha! That is definitely a memory!!!
Can't wait to hear more!
Gross, but heck running has presented all of these disgusting things that I now shrug at compared to what I might have thought pre-all-of-this running fun!
Guess after the weekend you can gobble to your hearts desire!!!
Ugh. I'm glad he felt bad at least!
Never ride behind Lana, I have come real close to getting hit. :)
I am just jealous, I haven't master the snot rocket yet.
Eeeeeew! That's all I can say!
