Victory....well sort of
I completed the Disney World marathon, but came in just barely under the cut off time of 7 hours. Why did it take so long? Undertraining my friend. I started having cramps in my quads around mile 7, and my mile 14 both quads and both calves were cramping when I tried to do more than a slow shuffle. Even a fast walk was causing cramping. Favoring my first cramping leg caused silver dollar sized blisters to form and burst on both feet. I finished with bloody socks and bloody shorts from chafing...but I did finish. I can't let it lie like this though. Someday I will have to better prepare and turn in a more respectable time for a full marathon. Until later...
