ReplyDeleteEpic! Huge congratulations on finishing such an ambitious goal and in such an incredibly short period of time. Now is the time to celebrate having accomplished something truly grand, something an infinitesimally tiny percentage of people have achieved, and look forward to the next great adventure.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the races that came up in your Best-Of list are either ones I've already completed or have firmly slated in my calendar. I look forward to tackling them and following in your footsteps.
Well done :)
