Pre-race routine:

This was a nice late start...no 4 am wake up alarm for this one. Rolled about of bed around 7, ate a leisurely breakfast, changed a flat (why is it always race morning?), pumped up tires, loaded truck in the rain and headed out.
Event warmup:

jogged to the start area

Event comments:

This was fun, a bit funky and cold and wet due to the weather but overall well run since they can't schedule the storms.
