Fantastic! Congratulations on an awesome race, what a great athlete you are. It was great to meet you in Worcester and talk about SBI. I wish you the very very best and am looking forward to your post-procedure post, ETA 48 hours after surgery I am sure.

Wow, that's amazing.  Good for you.  I ran a half-marathon once and THAT was a long distance.  I am impressed.  I think your fitness level will really help you post surgery.  I think mine did, but I might just be guessing.
Best,
