Even more impressive than their arm muscles is the strength of their spirits. What must it take to throw off self-pity and excel beyond what most physically whole people ever do! And I bitch and moan about anything in my life? Really? Pfffft.
I could not help by cry as I watched them climb up the hill. To say it was hard would be an understatement! I know they were competing and that was a good thing, but it was a real struggle and I could tell!!
I am sure when they went down the other side it was much better!
I have watched from Meeting street before, but to see the real battle, come on the Bridge and watch them climb that first incline!!
You will feel the way I did,I bet!
As a participator in the race, I've never had the privilege of watching the wheelchair racers finish. I have stood at the front of the starting line to watch them begin. It's inspiring!
And yes, it is appropriate to take a post-race nap. If you're a runner, that is ;) But it'll be our little secret. :Þ
They were amazing!
I was impressed as heck! Wish I was a real sports photographer to do them justice.
Hi Ashley! Congrats on doing the bridge run/walk! I'll walk it any day that doesn't have 40,000 other people on it, but I sure do love watching y'all!
I was actually happy the race was slightly delayed except that I sincerely felt the pain & discomfort these elite athletes had to experience sitting in these specialized wheelchairs longer than necessary. Happy that more people got to experience this part of the race that often gets overlooked by the media. Congrats to all!
Hi Brenda. I was glad to get to see them. I hadn't even thought of how uncomfortable those wheelchairs would be but I imagine they would. I am still mind blown that they raced all that way in them.
