People might have been in the porta-johns, getting something from a car, etc. Good water stops on the run, but "vague" location of run turn around (confused by cone layout) would have been improved by a person saying "TURN AROUND HERE" Weather was ideal - water was a nice 79 and mostly fresh from recent rains. Started at 8 AM close to 70 F and by 11 AM was about 80 F. Light winds, sunny, low humidity for coastal NC.
