Good run. Started out at a good pace with the wind at our back. Marla did exceptionally well as the pace was under 10:00
Post race
Warm down:

Stopped to chat a little with Helgi after the race. We then headed to Seroogies for some coffee and hot chocolate.


Event comments:

Not very well organized. From picking up the bibs and shirts to the start line to a water stop with only one volunteer who couldn't keep up (poor guy). Very amatuer with organization. The kicker was the race director, while giving out awards, proceeded to say on the PA that "we are not going to wait for the slow people" with a little chuckle. I do believe they paid the same entry as everyone else and it is the same, if not bigger accomplishment for those people. EXTREMELY RUDE!
