I can only imagine how energizing it must have been to fire a cannon at the start of a race! That's too cool.

Unfortunate that you were battling an illness, but it seems that you still managed to summon enough energy for a strong performance. Super inspiring and a great reminder of what we're capable of -- especially when we're passionate about something.

We've resteemed your post to the frontpage of EXHAUST! Looking forward to reading more about your running!
