Comments:

ran with my wife most of the way. Knees felt a little sore at the beginning but got better. We another participant have what we think was a seizure. We had to run a fair distance until found some volunteers and then they seemed to not know what to do and had no radios. It was a few minutes until we saw a police car heading there. More medical and volunteers with radios would have been nice.
What would you do differently?:

Had a really nice fun race.
Post race
Warm down:

two small waters and two big FREE beers!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was running for fun not time.

Event comments:

Disappointed with the number of volunteers and medical help. We saw someone a few years ago who had a heart attack. It seems like it would be fairly easy to have someone with a radio at short distances. Lots of people who are not in the best shape do this event. Other than that it was, like every year, a great time.
