I did the entire thing, including that turn-around by the lunch stop twice, but didn't know about the finish line (it was around the corner from my car) and by the time I realized it was there I had already put the bike away.

Oh, and it was cold, then it was colder, then it blew. And then to cap it off I somehow hurt my left eye. All I can see if a fog through it! I went to the paramedics at the first aid station and they said "Dude, your eyes all foggy inside." Thanks, I know that. Oh well, since it's not hurting I think I'll wait until I get back home tomorrow before venturing to the urgent care/er.

I didn't really take many pictures, either, I just wanted to finish and warm up (and then for about 60 miles I couldn't see out of the left eye, which made me want to finish up quickly, too).
