What!? No tutu???
By Ron on 03.21.11 4:07 pm
But you lived to tell the tale… And price to the rest of us that even you can end up with an unfortunate race picture :)
By Kristen on 03.21.11 4:20 pm
Congrats on toughing it out and finishing in such awful weather!
By Carly D. @ CarlyBananas on 03.21.11 4:48 pm
OMG Danica!! Yesterday was my first full marathon….A day later it doesn’t even feel real and all I can say is – What was that???!! So cold and wet, I can’t believe I did it. I am anxiously awaiting your race report to see if you had the same experience that I did. Finisher’s area was by far the worst part. Also – how the heck did you get your race proof? I am cracking up looking at mine online but it won’t let me save the pic to show my friends – boo!
By Laura on 03.21.11 4:59 pm
I love the tiger visor! I also “stole” my proofs for my race recap… funny how some of us are photo site stalkers like that!
Glad you survived. The whole thing was beyond my imagination.
By Julie (A Case of the Runs) on 03.21.11 5:51 pm
Wow that looks brutal.
By Beth on 03.21.11 5:56 pm
That’s rough for sure, but…YOU DID IT! You have mad bragging rights!!
If you can survive this misery, you can conquer ANYTHING. And that stays with you forever :)
By Alison on 03.21.11 6:05 pm
Oh my goodness, what a face! I’m sure it took some digging deep and finding your happy place, but you got through!
Can’t wait to read your recap!
By Beth on 03.21.11 6:46 pm
great job sis!
By nicole on 03.21.11 6:51 pm
That does not look fun at all. “dislike”
By julie {angry julie monday} on 03.21.11 8:18 pm
I still cannot believe the weather did that. Looking forward to reading about it. Proud of you being out there!
By Demi (Rio) on 03.21.11 9:15 pm
that was the worst marathon. EVER! I have never been so cold and miserable in my life!!!!
By molly on 03.21.11 9:57 pm
dude…that race yesterday was no joke. Congratulations on getting it! You have a lot to be proud of. Mad props!

By Carlos Pineda on 03.22.11 12:06 am
You did it! You should be very proud. My first race ever was in the rain a few years ago. I was cold and miserable, but stuck it out. You are brave like a tiger. Congrats!
By Anne on 03.22.11 12:56 am
Wow. I can’t WAIT to read this recap!!! You are strong like Tiger for braving conditions like that!
By Morgan on 03.22.11 7:06 am
I can’t believe you ran in that. Poor tiger.
By Kelly on 03.22.11 7:26 am
Props to you for hanging in there! You don’t look happy but you survived!
By Nicole on 03.22.11 9:30 am
wow. that looks miserable! and awesome. haha
By Matt on 03.22.11 9:39 am
manic sisters!!! seriously all about survival! i couldn’t have done that with out you and thank you for sticking with me at the end. I wanted to cry/die/give up! ♥♥♥
