15 miles.
I think what they did is amazing! My sister and mom finish at 15 miles. Elisa injured her knee at around 10 miles and was limping pretty bad. 5 more miles, my sister just couldn't do it anymore. With barricades and drink stationes being cleaned up, they didn't think it would be best to carry on. Especially without having drinks ready and waiting for them in addition to Elisa's injury.
Elisa commented that she wished she would've just went for the half mile and they would've crossed the finish line. But hey... that's 13 miles! Being hurt and succeeding to go further, that's great! Way to go sis!!
They were able to get something to drink and a ride to the end of the marathon. Several people had quit at 8 miles. So my mom and sis did great! At the end 5 people were on stretchers, 8 in chairs and my sis was able to get ice applied to her knee.
They just called a bit ago. A guy walking the marathon just passed the finish line. He was wearing white tights, a white leotard, a white netted tutu and a hat. Coming from his Err... well... Was a long bird head. Why was this guy dressed like this? Who knows! Elisa and mom were so shocked, they did not get a picture. Darn! Ha Ha!
We will have an official blog post from my sister and mom as soon as they are ready. Thank you all for participating in their journey!!
for the cure!
Hug,
Sarah
