Comments: This was the first time they put on this race, and overall, I thought they did a great job. Small - but very fast! - field out there, and so accordingly, they didn't have too many volunteers or water stations. They could have used another 2 water stations maybe (only 3 on the whole course), and at a couple of intersections, it would have been good to have someone stationed, since there weren't always enough people around to reliably still be following someone, esp. at the back of the pack.
That said, the post-race party was pretty good -- spaghetti, beer and a band! All in a heated tent. Also, since it was sponsored by the Tyranena Brewery, they had their bar open, too. Pretty cool. T-shirts were nice too - not your standard white race T. And the finisher's medal doubles as a Christmas ornament. And for a small race, it was chip-timed -- nice touch.
