• Comments: I don't know man, it seemed like last year there was just much more fanfare. I was really miffed that there wasn't any food and that everyone was basicaly packed up and sort of anxious to get out of there and not celebrating the late finishers. I know it is a long day, but those people need food and encouragement as well. Also, no massage? No bike support? Just basic things that a race should have, especially a sponsored race. It was those things I really really needed and I was a little panicked to not have them. Although, the volunteers on the run aid were FANTASTIC, and the guys handing out water in the bike turn around were deadly accurate- thanks lads!.
