45th in ranking!

Alright, I entered the race not expecting to have a fantastic placing, afterall, my knee was not in its optimal condition (thanks to a day of artificial heights).  Sure, there were prizes for the the Top 10s of each category (which was not at all attractive), but never had it crossed my mind that I would be in the fastest few.. like fastest 50..

I'd a pleasant surprise when I saw the results on the website this morning (after all the negative news)..

YAY! I was in the 45th position.. out of 437 women who ran the 25km category.. :) Then I saw, the 44th was faster than me only by 17 sec! If only I'd sprinted in the last 200m instead of the last 100m..  :(  still.. not too bad a placing after all... :) Happy Day!
