Paris Olympic Build: Olympic Marathon (Episode 16)

We made it to race day! The Paris Olympic Marathon was everything I thought it would be and more. The crowds were deafening and thrilling. Somehow, amid all of the excitement, I managed to hear my mom, my sisters, my dad, my coach, and my wife, among other friends and family. Thank you for all of the support and the love out there! The hills were steep, but I kept my head down and took it a step at a time.

Those last hundred meters on the blue carpet were a dream. I felt so much gratitude.

I finished in 9th place with a time of 2:08:44. I'm happy with what I accomplished, even as I'm rethinking every mile I ran and every move I covered.

These past days and weeks have been filled with time with family and friends. I'm so grateful for the community that surrounds me.

Thank you to all of those who have followed this journey. It has been an amazing ride.
My next build has started! I'm training for the New York City marathon on November 3rd.
