Des Moines IMT was by far my favorite race this year.  I did the half this year and planned for it to be relaxed and fun!  It was and my time was great considering all the stops I made to have fun!  I felt strong and never once thought, "wow, I'm tired."  Here are a few pics from the race.... I DID get to meet Kathrine Switzer and get a signed copy of her book. YAY!

NEVER TOO EARLY!!!

HEADING INTO THE LAST 2 MILES OF THE RACE
