The blisters are really what did me in. Tami in the medical tent at lunch on Day 3 was my hero. She lanced my blisters, and then wrapped them so well they felt 10 times better. Unfortunately they still hurt, just not nearly as much. As a sidenote, Tami is a breast cancer survivor, walked last year, and was medical crew this year. We had each other in tears.
The blister on my pinky toe was wrapped by a teammate before we started out the last day. She did a great job, but in hindsight I should have had it lanced when the others were lanced. I just didn't want to mess with it, it hadn't been bothering me enough to worry about it until the others weren't bothering me, then I realized how much it was bothering me.
Oh well, the blisters are fading now, ans as the sign that became my mantra said:
YEAH! Congratulations!!! I'm proud of you! -jr
