  • Comments: I think there was a mixup with my timing because my friend started ahead of me (I could see him about 5-7 rows ahead of me) and I finished +/-30 seconds ahead of him but he is listed right ahead of me on the results. Not a big deal since we aren't in the running for medals or anything but now I have no bragging rights!! Bummer. I rated the post race as average but I had to go right away to make it for Thanksgiving dinner so I couldnt really rate it. I had fun though.

  • Comments: A fun, festive race. The after-race food/beverages could have been more numerous and better organized. I think they ran out of hot chocolate fairly quickly.

  • Comments: This actually sucked. I really believed that I'd beat my time of 54:58 last year. I didn't have a gel before the race and probably should have had one in mile 2 instead of waiting to mile 3.5. I felt great at the end, which means the last 2 gels kicked in too late. I have to learn to push myself a bit harder through the middle of the race instead of settling in to an "easy" pace.

  • Comments: Well considering I used to be the race coordinator, it's always fun to run this race. They did a great job this year and it's neat to see the race continue to grow. Plus - people's times were right this year...a HUGE plus for the race.
