The Long Walk Back to the Hotel


After 13.2 miles, we were ready to get back to the hotel to kick back and relax maybe lounge poolside for a bit.  We had the option of taking a shuttle, but figured a walk back to the hotel would be a good way to stretch our legs a little after the race.   Little did we know that one wrong turn would lead to more than miles of walking!   Our hotel was only about a 5-10 minute walk from the race area but we wound up going the wrong way out of the park and headed to the wrong hotel!  Once we realized our mistake, we were almost 2 miles from our hotel.   So after finishing a half marathon, we spent another 1 hour and 45 minutes walking back to our hotel!   All we could do at that point was laugh at our mistake.   We were so exhausted and ready to collapse we could have cried but we laughed all the way back and literally collapsed the moment we walked into the room.
