Event comments:

It seems to have blossomed from an informal brick to a full blown event. Too many folks showing up on Saturday caused the LATE start. Going out 45 minutes late helps no one, the volunteers, the locals, the racers. Charge a little more and get some help. The water stations were ridiculous.
