One Hill of a Run...post race & trying to breathe again

I took my camelback, not wanting to risk a repeat performance of my last race where a swallow of too-cold water caused an asthma attack just past the two-mile point. Nonetheless I still ended this one, as always, having given it everything I had and in oxygen deficit, struggling to breathe. AM and her family looked a little concerned but, as she said, "You had told me you always end a run this way, so I wasn't too worried." In the above photo I am pulling my inhaler out of the camelback pocket.
