had about a 5 min. stop for a RR break. Someone had destroyed this port o potty before I got there- nothing like a 4 min. wall sit at mile 11!

beer, then BBQ and more beer

Event comments:

If you don't like running in a huge pack, this is a great race. There were times I was all alone out there after the full/half split. Very well run and supported. Only down side is that it is small and I have run that trail a lot, so nothing new to look at and take my mind off the distance.
