Still haven't decided whether giving birth to Deetman was harder or easier than that 17k today. The more hours that pass since I finished, the more I think maybe the labour was harder. But at the 16k marker, I was whimpering a different tune.
When I reached the final kilometre marker, I kissed it, then hobbled back to the beach, holding back tears. Once there, I was applauded and hugged and watered. Now I have two sore knees and two heavy eyelids.
18k next Sunday.
