Thanks for all the support! The race was great. Gretreiver, I liked the signs at the water station for Cheryl and Poky.
My report has been posted. A quick recap, we had one car (out of 5) get lost in Chicago, I set a new low heart rate on my monitor, and we ran a 3:47.

Thanks for checking on me, Genie!
I had a great time until m23, when everything cramped. I walked almost the last 3.  I was a half-hour slower than before.
I'm happy to have done it--the experience is the greatest thing ever!
Congrats to all of the Riff Raff runners!! Janice

On location in Calgary day 4 of 10
Same here, I was checking the marathon site and happened to see Genie online and we spent the next 45 min to an hour getting updates.
This was a great experience and a lot of fun. It brough back memories from my running Chicago 3 yrs ago and a good way to cheer friends on.
Congrats to all the RR to ran and finished, nothing like running to the finish chute in Chicago

I'm back! I had to check my email for some stuff and thought I'd say hi!
Thanks for checking in on me and the world's slowest marathon!!!  I had an absolutely great race, no pain (its a MIRACLE!), no wall, meetings with such cool riff raffers (and a near miss, sorry Kobyj) so many observations....so little energy now to recant it all....anyhoo, still on my same runner's high as yesterday, run report to come, maybe after my nap....
Thanks for the support yous guys! 
I can't believe I missed my signs at 23!

I made sure to point the signs out to Trisha as we passed. As for mising me, oh well. Another race, another meeting opportunity. As for being busy, you guys were just as busy as everyone else. Thanks for helping out at the race. The race wouldn't be the same without the volunteers.
