Inspiration
<sarcasm>This is what makes it all worthwhile. The summer days when you swallow your own sweat laced with both sunblock and insect repellant. The days when you promise yourself it will be fun after 5 minutes, and it's still a little bit of a drag at 40. The days you get up at 4.30am to run in the dark in winter.
If you do that you get some rewards. Like this fine trophy. </sarcasm>
If I'd actually been in third place this trophy might mean something slightly more than it does, but I wasn't in third place overall. I was third place in a five-year age group.
(I should have used my new copy stand to take the photo without flash, but I haven't set it up yet.)

Hey congratulations! From the link it looks like you were 14th place overall. That is still freaking awesome! You are an inspiration!
