Event comments:

The race starting late was because the fire dept didnt put the bouies out early enough. Started 10 min late. Race was great, probably too hard for my training level, but great. Everyone got an engraved metal with their place. I may have been DFL, but I got a metal that says I got 4th in my age group!!
