  • Comments: Some of the volunteers where handing out banana halves and orange slices at various parts of the race. It was so nice to have something else in my stomach besides gels and chews. I had to laugh at some of the different signs that people came up with. Some of my faviorate were: 26.2 miles? I thought you said 2.62 miles! A guy dancing around in a pink cardboard computer with writing on the screen: C://26.2 miles….. Does not compute… Does not compute… Does not compute… Your almost there….well not really! Marathon is for the insane, that’s why I’m standing here! I loved how the water/fluid stations were organized. Each station was comprised of six tables; three for Poweraid and three for water. At each table there was on volunteer on the outside filling cups, a second volunteer was on the other side and handing cups to a third volunteer who in turn handed the cups to the runners. The end result was that no one had to wait at any station for the drink of their choice.
