CONGRATULATIONS!!! You got through it, and that is an incredible accomplishment in those kinds of conditions. Good for you. Hope you had a nice post-race treat for yourself!

I know! The race directors ended up stopping the race early, so it's just as well I didn't get there in time. Although I would have gotten the medal at least. I don't know if it was the 10 mile mark for the leaders, or the 10 mile mark for the friend of a friend, but from what I understand it was called before anyone finished the full (although there may have been 1/2 marathon finishers, I'm not positive about that).

I saw somewhere online this morning that Ike was considered a tropical depression - while it was dumping rain on St. Louis. That made me chuckle, a tropical anything in the middle of the country! By the afternoon it was gorgeous and sunny here, it moved through that quickly. There was a lot of road flooding, and the race was right by a river in bottom lands, so my guess is they had to stop it early because of flooding, rather than the deluge of rain still coming down.
