  • Comments: I waited for the marathon finishers since my BF was running the marathon. I was really pissed when the organizers started tearing down the finish line more than a half hour before the race was to close. The guy doing it was smoking a ciggie and prolly hasn't seen his feet in years. This didn't impress me. When asked to not tear the signs down, (it wasn't me) he said, 'I have been out here since 5:30 and I am ready to go home'. In my opinion, this is poor. There were lots more finishers and the course was still officially open. The event was good besides the laziness of those particular people. BTW, my BF finished well before the race course closed and came home with a plaque. Yay!

  • Comments: Interestingly the guy that won set a course record 2:38:00. I heard his comment when the director asked him how he liked the hills (I'm guessing expecting a response like..."they were tough..but i pulled through)... but nope! I heard the guy respond they were "Indiscernible" and I laughed outloud...as I'm sure the guy heard me...and probably thought I was an idiot..but whatever, I can't believe he was cocky enough to respond that way! Although, I'll never know what it feels to run that good!
