Sore, exhausted,
with achy knees and joints but with a big smile on my face and a feeling of
accomplishment – I made it all the way from the start in Houston to the
finish in Austin.
We had to get up
at 4.30AM both days, start at 6.00AM. It was freezing cold! We had a strong
headwind (up to 15 mph) on Saturday and a lot of hills on Sunday (including
‘killer’ hills through the Buescher State Park).
Overall, it was BRUTAL but worth it!
MS Society raised over $15 million, from which 80% goes directly to the
patients with multiple sclerosis and research. It was a big success.
