  • Comments: good shirts, humongous finisher medals, ok course (for hartford), good organization. Needs more port-o-potties, and it would be super if they could start the half separate from the full or make some corrals.

  • Comments: They ran out of food for the pre-race pasta dinner the night before, and ran out of the good post-race food...and beer! The Hartford fans were great, with lots of people along the way cheering us on and live music every mile or two. I think I lost some reserve energy playing air guitar going by a couple of bands. Thanks to my brother Walt, and sis-in-law Kathy for being there to cheer me on. Thanks to Craigy who came all the way from Montana the weekend before to give me a mental boost. And special thanks to MaryBeth for supporting me throughout the training and the event itself, even when I was whining about the 20-milers.
