Thanks for the well wishes!
Were you there racing or spectating? Boy it was something. What a bummer. But it can only make future races easier by comparison. "It can always be worse" just has a real world example now. :)
So there's a fast half 3 weeks after and a hilly half six weeks after I'm looking at. Is 3 weeks after too close in others' minds? I have not gone such a distance so soon post marathon. I've done a 5k two weeks after and a 10K four weeks after in the past. I would only race the half 3 weeks after if it were for a PR. I don't need to shell out dough for an experience.
Thanks!
